Michael Jackson
Cornerback
Miami, FL

Alex Khvatov:  Describe your overall experience at the 2019 East/West Shrine Game. 

Michael Jackson:  It’s a blessing.  A lot of guys don’t get this opportunity to come out here and showcase their skills.  I am from Miami and it means a lot to me.    

Alex Khvatov:  What do you want to prove to scouts during this week?

Michael Jackson:  I am a football player.  You can’t put me in the box.  I am not just a corner.  I can play wherever.      

Alex Khvatov:  What are your strengths? 

Michael Jackson:  Press man ability, coachable, hard worker.  I am willing to do anything to win. 

Alex Khvatov:  How did you wind up at Miami?

Michael Jackson:  I fell in love with the program.  Coach Golden is a good coach.  Then Manny Diaz and Coach Richt came in. 

Alex Khvatov:  Where are you currently training?    

Michael Jackson:  MJP (Michael Johnson Performance) in Texas. 

Alex Khvatov:  Why did you choose to train in Texas and not Florida? 

Michael Jackson:  I wanted to get out of my comfort zone.  Just because you stay in one place, doesn’t mean you train good or bad.   

Alex Khvatov:  What areas of your game are you trying to improve upon? 

Michael Jackson:  Off man coverage. 

Alex Khvatov:  Have you been invited to the Combine?

Michael Jackson:  Yes, sir.
