Football

Seminole Ridge coach Chad Chieffalo doesn't hold back of his praise for Ty Jackson. During his sophomore and junior years at Seminole Ridge, the star linebacker broke the school record for tackles. But the best is ahead for Jackson, Chieffalo says. "Ty is an unbelievable football player. He is a phenomenal athlete who plays with such humility. He is everything you want athletically and off the field. He's such a gifted athlete and an extremely hard worker." During his first three seasons of high school football, Jackson recorded 378 tackles, along with 15 tackles for a loss, six sacks, five forced fumbles, four interceptions and two fumble recoveries.
