"I appreciate y'all for letting me represent the guys this year," Jackson said. "You all know how close we were and you know how much they mean to me...I love y'all, lets keep this ball rolling."

A close friend to both Jordan and Lowe, Jackson has continuously shared what they meant to him since their passing, and even dedicated the Pac-12 Championship in honor of his late teammates.

Jackson becomes the second recipient of the scholarship award after Aaron Lowe who passed away in September of 2021.
