Aden Jackson's big game helped extend Lincoln's winning streak to three on Friday. Jackson turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 78 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Jackson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Cathedral Catholic on Friday. Jackson rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Dons duked it out back in October of 2023.
