Much like last season, Auburn will be losing quite a bit of receiver production, but on Wednesday afternoon the Tigers got a great piece of news.
Wide receiver Shedrick Jackson, nephew of Bo Jackson, announced that he will be returning for his fifth season at Auburn in 2022.
Shedrick started his career at Auburn back in 2018, catching two passes for 15 yards. This past season in 2021, Jackson had 50 receptions for 527 yards and one touchdown. He has 657 career receiving yards to his name.
With the loss of Kobe Hudson and Demetris Robertson, Shedrick announcing he will be coming back is huge. The Tigers desperately need depth in the receiver room and Jackson will be a veteran presence.
