By Monday, deadline day to declare for the NFL Draft, USC cornerback Adoree’ Jackson had revealed little about his decision.
His Twitter account had become fodder for amateur sleuths.
Jackson tweeted often about attending class when the semester began — a score for his returning. Then he tweeted cryptically about how he’d be treated if he left early, an indication he was considering such a move. A few days after receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster announced on Jan. 7 that he would forego his senior season, Jackson posted, “He left me man.. he’s gone,” then attached a crying Emoji.
