In his lone season wearing the Cardinal and white uniform, Jackson concluded his collegiate career by appearing in 10 games for the Arkansas Razorbacks, during which he accumulated 790 rushing yards. The 23-year-old (as of March 2025) running back’s best year came in 2024 when he put up a career high of 929 yards from scrimmage.
