Arkansas Razorbacks defensive end Landon Jackson is exuding confidence after a stellar 2023 season, cementing himself as one of college football’s most dominant pass rushers. Speaking to reporters ahead of the offseason, Jackson made it clear he knows his value both on and off the field.
“I know my worth,” Jackson said. “I’ve put in the work, and I’m seeing the results. This is just the beginning.”
The junior defensive standout recorded a team-high 8.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss in 2023, showcasing his versatility and knack for disrupting opposing offenses. His performance earned him All-SEC honors and put him on the radar of NFL scouts. Despite the Razorbacks’ struggles as a team, Jackson’s individual growth has been a bright spot.
“I came into this season with a chip on my shoulder,” Jackson added. “I wanted to prove that I’m not just a player with potential—I’m a player who delivers.”
Jackson’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. After transferring from LSU in 2022, he faced doubts about his ability to adapt and shine in Arkansas’ defensive system. But his relentless work ethic and leadership have silenced critics, making him a cornerstone of the Razorbacks’ defense.
Looking ahead, Jackson is focused on refining his game and helping Arkansas bounce back in 2024. “The team comes first, and I want to lead by example,” he said. “Individually, my goal is to be the best edge rusher in the country. I know I can do it.”
With NFL buzz growing, Jackson remains grounded, emphasizing his commitment to Arkansas for now. “When the time comes, I’ll make the best decision for my future. Until then, I’m all in for this team.”
Jackson’s unwavering confidence and determination signal a bright future, whether in college or beyond.
