DE Tim Jackson puts academics first
Posted Nov 16, 2009
While looking for the right school, heralded Gibbs DE Tim Jackson hopes to find the place that will launch his career. And he's not talking about football. "I don't want this to be a four-year decision," Jackson said. "It's a 40-year decision. I want to set myself up for a good career. School is first. Then football." A look at the 6-foot-5, 220-pound standout's finalists illustrates what he's talking about. It includes academic heavyweights North Carolina, Stanford, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
