Chris Jackson’s trip from basketball to football to Michigan State commit
Michigan State defensive backs coach Harlon Barnett had never heard of Chris Jackson when he visited Lassiter High School in Marietta, Ga., a year ago. Jackson had finished his sophomore year of football, which also happened to be his first year of football. Playing behind standout cornerbacks Tyriq Hardimon (Wake Forest signee) and Derrik Allen (Notre Dame commit), Jackson had only played about three series a game as Lassiter defensive backs coach Cedric Dickerson eased him into the action.
