Antwuan Jackson will get his chance to compete for an NFL roster spot at the New York Giants’ rookie minicamp.
The former Ohio State defensive tackle accepted an invitation to participate in the New York Giants’ rookie minicamp, he toldon Sunday. He has not yet signed a contract with the team, but could receive one if he performs well in the minicamp.
Jackson is getting his shot at the NFL after a six-year college football career that started with one year at Auburn and one year at Blinn College before he joined the Buckeyes in 2018. In four years at Ohio State, Jackson recorded 48 total tackles with nine tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks across 38 games with 12 starts.
Jackson spent time playing both nose tackle and 3-technique on Ohio State’s defensive line and believes he is capable of playing either role in the NFL. While he didn’t make a ton of big plays as a Buckeye, Jackson thinks he can do more at the next level than he had the chance to show in Columbus.
