Donald Jackson III Preseason FCS All-America
7/1/2014 11:53:00 AM | Football
Sam Houston offensive tackle Donald Jackson III has been named as a third team selection to the 2014 Sports Network FCS preseason All-America squad.
The 6-2, 274 junior industrial technology major from Kilgore earned first team All-Southland Conference honors as he started all 14 games to help lead the Bearkats to a third consecutive FCS national playoff berth.
Jackson has started 25 games in his first two seasons at Sam Houston, blocking for a Bearkat attack that has ranked nationally in several offensive categories.
The junior is one of eight Southland Conference student-athletes to earn a spot on the Sport Network's 92-player preseason All-America list.
Eastern Washington, the Bearkats' opponent in both team's season opener on ESPN August 23 in Cheney, Wash, placed five players on the All-America squad including first team quarterback Vernon Adams.
Sam Houston, one of only three universities to receive FCS national playoff berths each of the past three seasons, begins preseason camp the final week of July.
The Bearkats will play five home games at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium this fall. Season tickets for all five games plus the “Battle of the Piney Woods” matchup with SFA at Reliant Stadium in Houston Nov. 1 are available online at www.gobearkats.com or at the SHSU athletic ticket office in the Ron Mafrige Field House at Bowers Stadium. The ticket office telephone number is (936) 294-1729.
