Kelvin Jackson '21 Recruiting Profile

At 6 years old, in the middle of my little-league soccer game, I tripped over the soccer ball and the other players ran on top of me as if I was a part of the field. From that point forward I was determined to play football so I could hit someone and get away with it! Playing sports has taught me teamwork, commitment, and competition. I've played on both sides of the ball for varsity since I was a freshman which has made me a very elusive, fast, and agile OL/DL.

One of the main influences in my life is my father. He teaches me to continually improve, whether it’s in football or everyday life. As a former football player, football was huge in his life and taught him responsibility and accountability, which he's also ingrained in me. I am extremely grateful for him as he has instilled the same values in me and is a very prominent figure in my life. 

My goals are to maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher and major in Business Administration and become an entrepreneur after football.

I just finished my first season at American River College as a freshman (qualifier) and I'm committed to continuing working out and staying in shape so I can continue my journey to the next level. I really look forward to continuing my education and earning a roster spot at the university level to give my best contribution possible!
