Jackson Casanova had an impressive season last year, recording 80 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 8 sacks, helping his team reach the quarterfinals. His performance on the field reflects his love for playing linebacker, a position he has fully embraced.

Jackson credits his success to his coaches, stating, “My coaches are great. They help me a lot and push me to be better.” Their guidance has played a key role in his development as an athlete.

His hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed, as Jackson has already been in talks with UL, Nicholls, and Northwestern State about potential recruitment. Outside of football, Jackson enjoys hunting, and when it comes to college preferences, he’s open to all options.
