  Draft Scout by Conference








  07/26/22 - ILB Nick JacksonrSr/2025, Iowa

  Consecutive seasons with 100-plus tackles takes consistency and extreme effort above all else, Virginia linebacker Nick Jackson said Thursday. Jackson, the senior whose 117 takedowns topped the Atlantic Coast Conference last fall and whose 105 tackles were second most in the league the year before, can make it three straight campaigns with more than 100 tackles this coming season. "I just try to be mobile," he said. "I think I can make plays wherever the field is. I think I can make plays against the pass and I can run down running backs. I can make plays on the perimeter and then I can be fluid in the box. I just think being consistent and physical in the box has allowed me to make plays and maximize those opportunities."

This summer, Jackson said, he's prioritized running to increase his endurance in order to play at his best for the 70 to 80 snaps he expects to be on the field for each Saturday. "And you've got to play every snap like it's your last," Jackson said. "It's the matter of fact in this sport we're playing. Anything can happen at any moment and nothing is guaranteed, so playing every snap like it's your last is why. I want to play for my brothers and those guys over there are counting on me every single time to try and make the play, so if I'm not running as hard as I can, I'm doing something wrong." - Charlottesville Daily Progress
