"Jackson is entering the final season of a five-year, $55-million deal he signed in 2012, proud to finish a free-agent contract in an NFL economy ... "I love Tampa. I would love to retire here -- I've put my roots here," he said. "I plan on staying, no matter what happens with football."

 

A new booster for USF?

Awesome news.  Hope he comes to some Bulls games and sites in the student section.

This is awesome. 

Does this mean he will list us as his college on the TV screen roster lineup?

Very cool.  One of my favorite Bucs.  I expect he'll be associated with the football program for years down the road.

Not sure if serious - I suspect not, but I'll answer anyway.  I think the athletes usually list where they played in college - many of them never graduate from the school they played at.

I can think of one NFL guy who didn't play for USF but went on to do great things for us.

It was a joke indeed. I do hope that he maintains a good relationship with USF athletics down the road.
