Summary

Nick Jackson is from Atlanta, Georgia and started his career at Virginia where he played all 4 years and was a Team Captain twice. After the infamous Virginia Football player shooting happened, his path took a turn, and he ended up at Iowa. An organization he describes as a perfect fit. We discuss his journey from being highly recruited out of high school, playing at Virginia, and eventually transferring. Nick shares his experiences, including adjusting to a new defense, leadership lessons from Coach Ferentz, and the emotional impact of the tragic events at Virginia. We also dive into his preparation for the NFL, the transfer portal process, and memorable moments like the handshake with Nebraska's Matt Rhule. Tune in for an in-depth look at Nick Jackson's football journey and insights into the world of college football.
