[autotag]Sean Jackson[/autotag] is a walk-on no more for Auburn.
The redshirt freshman was awarded a scholarship after Auburn’s practice Friday, the team tweeted out.
The 5-foot-9, 230-pounder appeared in four games last season, rushing 10 times for 38 yards and a touchdown. With the departure of Shaun Shivers for Indiana and Jarquez Hunter sidelined with a knee injury, he has been serving as the team’s No. 2 running back behind Tank Bigsby.
Jackson was a star at Hewitt-Trussville before joining Auburn. He had 1,425 all-purpose yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior and had a scholarship offer from UAB.
With Jackson earning a scholarship, the Tigers now have three healthy running backs for spring practice in Bigsby, Jackson, and Jordon Ingram. They will add incoming freshman Damari Alson and a healthy Hunter in the fall to get to five scholarship running backs for the season.
Congratulations to @Jackboy_33_ for putting in the work and being put on scholarship!#WarEagle | #AuburnMade pic.twitter.com/JVRl91vAz9
