Pine-Richland’s Miguel Jackson (56) celebrates with Michael Katic after recovering a Central Catholic fumble during their game Friday, Sept. 28, 2018, in Pine.
Pine-Richland sack leader Miguel Jackson, who earned all-conference recognition last season as a sophomore, announced his first Division 1 offer Wednesday from Akron.
The 6-foot-2, 240-pound defensive end had a team-high 14 sacks last season when the Rams won the WPIAL Class 6A title. He also blocked a punt, returned it for a touchdown and ranked sixth on the team with 57 tackles.
Jackson was named second-team all-conference.
He also wrestles for Pine-Richland and won the Section 3-AAA title last season at 285 pounds.
