Family Wisdom, Work Ethic Paying Off for UNC WR Thomas Jackson

Posted Aug 30, 2017
Most athletes have that one supportive person when they inevitably hit a rough spot. For UNC wide receiver Thomas Jackson, that person is his father. Jackson is in a unique situation. His father, David Jackson, understands Thomas' day-to-day grind at a deeper level. The older Jackson was a defensive back (and co-captain) for the Tar Heels in the late 1960s. (Inside Carolina)
