[edit] College Career
At Florida State University, Jackson won All-Conference,and All-Academic honors. He finished his college career with 194 tackles, 7 interceptions, 16 passes defensed, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and blocked an amazing 4 field goals.
[edit] Super Bowl Glory
Jackson was the Super Bowl MVP of Super Bowl XXXVII, recording two interceptions which turned the momentum of the game in favor of the Buccaneers. His margin of victory for the award was the "fan vote" in which he gained four votes based on internet polling. Were it not for the fan votes, Simeon Rice would have won the award. He was the first safety to win the award since 1973.
