J.C. Jackson’s budding football career was temporarily put on hold. The immense talent he possessed was on the verge of being wasted.
The possibilities of what the future might hold for a once highly touted recruit changed dramatically during the spring of 2015 and into that fall.
Charged in connection with an armed robbery, Jackson tangled with the prospect of prison time, facing four first-degree felonies – three counts of home invasion with a deadly weapon and one count of burglary of an occupied dwelling – that each carried a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison.
