Background

Early life

Jackson attended Spain Park High School. In the summer before his senior season, Jackson said that he wanted to go out of his home state of Alabama to play college football. During his senior season in 2014, he was named co-Alabama High School Player of the Week in mid-October after preserving a 14–13 win over Vestavia Hills High School by blocking an extra point and field goal in the fourth quarter.

Jackson committed to University of Miami in late October 2014 after visiting the campus the previous June, choosing the school over Minnesota, Georgia, LSU and Nebraska. He was rated as a three-star recruit by 247Sports.com.

College career

As a freshman, he played mainly on special teams. As a sophomore, he was a backup, tallying 7 tackles (2 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.

As a junior, he appeared in all 13 games with 10 starts. He collected 43 tackles, 4 interceptions (tied for the team lead) and 5 pass breakups.

He was on a roll in October, intercepting a pass against Florida State University and two more two weeks later against Syracuse University.

On January 5, 2018, Jackson announced on his Twitter account that he would return to the Hurricanes for his senior season. He was projected in some publications to go in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft. As a senior, he started all 13 games, posting 42 tackles (3.5 tackles for loss), 2.5 sacks and 6 pass breakups (second on the team). After his senior season, Jackson was named honorable mention all-Atlantic Coast Conference.
