Defensive end was named to the 2020 Group of 5 Preseason Starting Lineup
CONWAY, S.C. – Coastal Carolina redshirt senior defensive end Tarron Jackson was named to the 2020 College Football America Yearbook (CFA) Group of 5 Preseason Starting Lineup, CFA's version of a Group of 5 conferences All-America team on Wednesday.
A two-time All-Sun Belt selection, earning first-team honors in 2019 after third-team recognition in 2018, Jackson led the Sun Belt and set a new Coastal single-season record with 10.0 sacks last season. His 72 yards lost from his 10.0 sacks was also a CCU single-season record. He also led the team and ranked fifth in the Sun Belt with 13.0 tackles-for-loss, of which 9.5 came in conference play, and was second on the team with a total of 60 tackles on the season. He added a school-record 13 quarterback hurries, forced two fumbles, and tallied two pass breakups from his defensive end position.
Named a 2019 team captain, Jackson recorded five tackles or more in six of the Chants' 12 games on the season, including a career-high 10 stops in the home contest versus Georgia State on Oct. 12, 2019. Jackson capped off the season by tying the CCU single-game record of 3.0 sacks in the regular-season finale win over Texas State on Nov. 30, 2019.
The honor is the second of the preseason for Jackson who was named to the 2020 Athlon Sports Preseason All-Sun Belt first team earlier this summer.
