Why this defensive back is turning heads during TCU football’s spring camp​

TCU football could have a mythical beast on its defense next season, and his name is Gil Jackson.

The 6-foot-3 sophomore cornerback has been one of the early standouts during the Horned Frogs’ spring camp and was one of the few freshmen to appear in all 12 games last season.

Jackson’s height is enough to make him stand out — it’s rare to see a corner so tall — but it’s the way he’s retained his speed and fluidity that has coaches salivating at his potential.

“Avalos caters his style to the strength of his players. . . “
What a concept. If accurate, should mean defense takes another step forward this year. Hope coach Sammich does the same with his unit.
Sammich said…You don’t block, you don’t play. So, it sounds good to me…
