  10/28/20 - ILB Nick JacksonrSr/2025, Iowa

  A connection dating back to the 1980s has resulted in one of the bright spots for Virginia's 1-4 football team. The Cavaliers' leading tackler is Nick Jackson, a sophomore linebacker from Atlanta who had 16 tackles, eight unassisted, in the Cavaliers' 19-14 loss Saturday at Miami. "Nick Jackson (6 foot 1, 235 pounds) is currently our best defensive football player in terms of his production, his consistency and how he's playing," UVa head coach Bronco Mendenhall said earlier this week. "He's dynamic. He's fast. He's assignment-sound. He's an excellent tackler. Nick's jump from last year to this year has been the most significant [of] any player on our team this year. He's making lots and lots and lots of plays. "So, I really am impressed."

As a senior at the Lovett School in Atlanta, Jackson was rated the No. 58 prospect in Georgia by 247Sports and the No. 64 Georgian by rivals.com. He was listed with ACC offers from Boston College, N.C. State and Syracuse, but he was not the object of a nationwide recruiting battle. And that was fine for the Cavaliers, as well as the Jackson family. His father, Doug Jackson, was a Virginia graduate with ties to the program through his UVa fraternity brother, Tony Covington. Covington was a defensive back on the 1990 Cavaliers' team that was ranked No. 1 in the country and currently serves as an analyst on radio broadcasts of UVa games. - Roanoke Times
