Talking UCF Football with Jennifer Jackson, the Team Mom

It’s one thing to gain the perspective of a college football coach or player, but it’s quite another to gain the perspective of a player’s mother. UCF Football player Sam Jackson's mother provided her insights about being a parent of a college football player.

Sometimes words are just not meant to be typed. A video or a podcast will provide the information. Provided that, of course, the guest of the podcast really knows what's going on from a very unique position. That’s where UCF Football offensive tackle Sam Jackson’s mother comes into the equation.

Jennifer Jackson was nice enough to come do a video podcast and discuss several aspects of being the parent of a young man that always wanted to play football. Mrs. Jackson also provided insight into what it’s like to travel with the team, communicate with other parents of the UCF players, what it’s like to know Head Coach Gus Malzahn and his wife Kristi Malzahn, amongst several topics that were discussed. The interview was enlightening, quite honestly.

Sit back and relax. This was one of the best podcasts this reporter has ever been a part of and look forward to seeing Mrs. Jackson come back on the show again very soon.
