One former UWG football player is getting a shot in the Canadian Football League as Javon Jackson has signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Jackson, a native of Tyrone, Georgia, spent his final season of collegiate football in Carrollton, racking up 26 tackles in 11 games. The defensive back also picked off one pass, had a pass break-up, and forced one fumble.
The Blue Bombers signed Jackson on Tuesday, and put him right into the mix, as Jackson will participate in rookie camp that begins today ahead of the main training camp that begins on Sunday.
Jackson is the second UWG player to have a shot at the next level as Jace Jordan was invited to rookie mini camps for a pair of NFL teams.
