Last Chance U: 5 most exciting Indy C.C. players from Season 3
By Phil Poling
No. 4: Calvin Jackson Jr., Wide Receiver | Washington State (2018)
Calvin Jackson scored Indy C.C.’s first offensive touchdown in 2017, albeit in a blowout. It came on a deep post route and quarterback Malik Henry put it on a rope — Jackson took care of the rest from there.
The 3-star high school recruit signed with Toledo in 2016 before heading to Kansas to play for coach Brown. Jackson also had offers from Iowa State and Utah, among others.
For the Pirates, Jackson caught 25 passes for 381 yards. Along with the touchdown he scored in the first game, Johnson added three more throughout the season.
One of the most acrobatic catches from Last Chance U came from Jackson when the Pirates played 2016 National Champion Garden City C.C.. To give Indy C.C. the lead, Jackson went airborne and had to reach behind his head to make the grab.
Jackson will be playing in the Pac-12 this season for coach Mike Leach and Washington State. The Cougars deploy an Air-Raid attack that Jackson will shine in if given the opportunity.
