  Nebraska OLB Damian Jackson has opted to continue his collegiate football career elsewhere. A senior outside linebacker, Jackson entered the transfer portal Friday (April 29), a source confirmed. The Las Vegas native served four years as a member of the Navy SEALs before walking on at Nebraska in 2018. Although he didn't play football in high school, he made his way onto the field for the Huskers from 2018 to 2021 as both a defensive lineman and outside linebacker while also excelling on special teams. Jackson has said he wants to take football as far it goes, and then he'll look at his options.

Returning to the military is one of them, he said. He has said his pursuit of a football career was tough. But Nebraska walk-on coordinator Kenny Wilhite and then-NU coach Mike Riley took a chance on him in 2018. "Every single coach that I came into contact with at Nebraska has built me up," Jackson said last November. "When I came here, I didn't know anything about football at all, I didn't understand plays, didn't understand anything that was going on, and they stuck with me." - Lincoln Journal
