He runs a 4.7 and is only 5'10... Hopefully he's quick and can hit hard, because that's not promising. But you gotta trust the coaches

alabamaduck has said that he's watched brian jackson play a few times and that he was a fall back guy. maybe the coaches think his ceiling is high. btw, his rivals profile shows a 4.5 40

he doesnt run a 4.5, he went to a combine in atlanta and ran a 4.72, thats pretty damn slow for someone his size

One things for certain, he will have played against some serious talent down there. We like those hard hitting safeties. If that's his style.

did you know that the starting qb who won the first 2 of their 4 consecutive st. championships was john-parker wilson the starting qb for alabama this year. his younger bro ross was the qb featured in the show. also they had the had a five star and number 3 rated wr named chad jackson when they won their first championship but i never heard of him doing anything in college.
From wikipedia -

"Jackson was named to the AP All- SEC Team for 2005 and was one of 15 semi-finalists for the Biletnikoff Award. His best season came the same year, as his 88 catches went for 900 yards and nine touchdowns, with two additional rushing touchdowns. Following that season, Jackson declared that he would forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL draft."

He ended up tearing it up at the combine and was selected 36th overall by the Patriots.

Interesting that you never heard of him in college.

I'll spill more in chat, but I think the Ducks will do better.

just curious, when you say the ducks will do better, what would happen if this guy would have committed? would we of lost someone who was better.

isnt it kinda weird that we are offering a fall back guy before we loose our main targets?

Two a days was filmed at the minor league baseball ballpark I run concessions for, and believe me the Hoover program isn't what it appeared to be on the show. The coach, Rush Propst was fired last year after it was discovered that he was grade tampering, banging secretaries, pocketing money from summer camps and had a second family in a town about an hour away. I know and have had several players and former players work for me and they HATED that guy with a passion. Remember the scene in Varsity Blues where the coach threatens to cost players their schollies if they don't do what he says, when he says to do it? That s*** happened routinely at Hoover.

Brian Jackson sounds like a good kid and a guy we could certainly use. He was named the Birmingham player of the year and was the defensive leader for the storied Hoover program. Heres a good piece I found on him....
