Jackson earns a share of the NEC Offensive Player of the Week award for the second time in as many weeks after he put up another big-time performance for Saint Francis U in his debut season. The rookie wide receiver became the first Red Flash player since the 2019 season to record 10-or-more catches in a single game after he hauled in 11 receptions — including a 16-yard touchdown pass from Cole Doyle — to finish with 117 yards against league opponent Wagner. In addition, Jackson opened up Saint Francis U’s scoring with a 79-yard kick return late in the first quarter to ignite a scoring spree that resulted in a 27-7 victory. He currently leads the NEC in receiving yards (107.0/game), while his two touchdown receptions are tied for third-most in the circuit. Also named the Rookie of the Week on Sept. 12, the Croydon PA native pushes his NEC weekly award count to a whopping five this season, having earned NEC Special Teams Player of the Week and NEC Rookie of the Week accolades this week.
