Very good one I was unaware of his story and its actually quite cool
Georgia Game Changer: Dan Jackson. it sent me down a fun rabbithole. Though for some reason it feels like he was more of a pre-nil PWO type? Bro was in the rotation from day one. he was able to come in on a HOPE scholly so the team didn't have ot give him a football scholly then along came NIL and bam match made in heaven? I really wonder how much this happens nationwide? Home state guys I mean. Its kinda easy (financially) to walk on in your home state because of how tuition works. For example at UGA the difference between in state and out of state tuition is 20k $11,440 vs $31,678 and most southern states offer some version of the HOPE scholly where an instate kid can go to a state college for free if they maintain a certain GPA. Funny enough Georgia has the most generous HOPE program. I found this site that breaks down all 8 states that have HOPE schollys and we gotta get ours in order in TN for the sake of
football..I mean the students.
