Ti20 Off the Boards- Cam Jackson Interview

Tigers in 20: A Memphis Tigers Athletics podcast

In this latest installment of Off the Boards, redshirt sophomore Cam'Ron Jackson joined Kenny Stubblefield and discussed his breakthrough season in 2021 and the expectations that he has placed on himself for the 2022 season. Cam spoke about growing up in the small town of Haynesville in northern Louisiana and playing for Haynesville High School. Haynesville High School, while in a small city of 2,000 people, has won 17 state titles in it's history, which ranks as the second most in all of Louisiana high schools. Cam shared about how the city developed players from a young age and how playing for Haynesville High School was a dream come true.

Cam then explained his recruitment and how Coach Pope played a massive role in his decision to come to Memphis over strong interest from LSU and Alabama.

In January, 2022, Cam entered the transfer portal for a short time, and he explained what went into that decision and also shared why he ultimately decided that Memphis was the place for him. He went into great detail on how Coach Pope, his mom and even senior DB Quindell Johnson played a role in changing his mind.

In the second segment, Cam discusses how the defensive line has been unleashed with Matt Barnes as the new defensive coordinator. He walks us through what Tiger fans can expect from the Tigers' defensive line this year, and how excited he is about the depth the Tigers have at that position.

Cam finishes out the episode talking about the games he is most excited to play this year, and which Memphis BBQ spot is his favorite place to eat.
