D’Eryk Jackson Plans to Bring Physicality to UK’s Defense

When you turn on the Hudl tape of D’Eryk Jackson it does not take long for you to gasp and say “wow”. The three-star prospect out of Dublin, Georgia who had 225 tackles and 26 tackles as a junior and senior for West Laurens High School packs a punch and is an old school box linebacker.

According to Jackson, he is putting in film work multiple times per week to learn the inside linebacker position in addition to all of the early workouts going on right now. The early enrollee believes he will play the Mike spot in UK’s 3-4 scheme and it was the development ability of the coaching staff that helped lure him to Lexington.
