Jackson Came Up Big in Lincoln's 42-0 Win
Lincoln picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Aden Jackson. Jackson did his part (and then some), rushing for 78 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Jackson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Cathedral Catholic on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jackson saw the Dons), he rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
