Week 2 Stats: 8 receptions, 123 receiving yards, TD reception
The NEC Player of the Week also takes home NEC Rookie of the Week honors after he caught for 123 yards in Saint Francis U’s 31-21 defeat to Richmond on Saturday. His first career touchdown — a 45-yard reception from junior quarterback Justin Sliwoski — pulled the Red Flash within one at 14-13 right before halftime. Jackson, a Croydon, PA native, hauled in the most catches in a single game since Ra’Shaun Henry had 12 against Delaware State on Nov. 23, 2019. Jackson is SFU’s first Rookie of the Week honoree since defensive back Breon Noel earned the honor on Sept. 6, 2021.
