2019 Broncos roster review: UDFA Running Back Devontae Jackson

Devontae Jackson has taken a road less traveled to get to the Broncos. Coming out of high school he turned down offers from Air Force, and UMass in order to stay close to home by attending West Georgia. He had to take a detour to play college ball, and spent 2014 working at Pappasito’s Cantina in Marietta while he improved his ACT score. He enrolled in January 2015, just in time to tear up D2. His first year on campus the Wolves strung off 9 straight victories to open the season. They wound up as semi finalists in the Division 2 Football playoffs, losing to eventual champions NW Missouri State 38-23.
