Depth Chart Overview
Listed at 236 pounds, Jackson is Auburn’s heaviest running back by over 20 pounds and is not afraid to lower his shoulder and deliver a big hit. It’s that physicality that could be his path to playing time after he didn’t register a carry last season.
In addition to a possible short-yardage role, he appeared in every game last year on special teams and should once again see plenty of action in that phase.
