Dontavious Jackson

The most experienced linebacker on the roster returns after being in the former regime’s doghouse the past two seasons.

Jackson is a former four-star recruit from Texas that has shown flashes of being great, but often found himself on the sidelines.

However, he’s gotten himself into phenomenal shape in the off-season and looks to finally make his mark on the field.

It’s scary he’s the most experienced linebacker on the team because he’s only played in 21 games and has 37 career tackles.

If Jackson isn’t able to be on the field, the middle of the FSU defense could be a major liability. Heck, even with Jackson this unit is severely inexperienced and has a lot to prove moving forward.

I look for Jackson to have a huge season with a high probability of leading the team with tackles.
