Biography

Kyle Jackson played the last three years at Modesto JC, leading the team in tackles last season with 60 (40 solo), finishing with 5.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups and an interception. His freshman campaign in 2021 also put Jackson atop the list in tackles with 66 (50 solo), with 7.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and a fumble recovery. Altogether for Modesto, he’s been named an All-American, the team MVP, and All-Conference twice, plus helped the Pirates win two conference championships.
 
“He’s a guy that made a lot of plays at Modesto Junior College,” head coach Todd Whitten said. “We have holes to fill at that inside linebacker spot. We think he’s a really good player who’s going to come in and battle for playing time.”
 
Jackson is a Manteca, California, native. He played three varsity years at Central Catholic High School in Modesto, California, a two-time All-League player. He plans to study business at Tarleton State University
