The Lake City, S C., won his first two bouts on Friday to work his way into the semifinals and earned All-America honors in the process. He edged St. Cloud State’s John Sundgren, 6-5, in Friday’s opening match, then handily defeated Wisconsin-Parkside’s Dillon Bera, 11-2, in the second round to become the second Trojan wrestler in as many years to earn All-American honors, as CJ Hamilton brought home the recognition last year.
Jackson downed Augustana’s Joseph Deaguero, 3-1, in the semifinal Saturday morning and moved on to the championship round. He is the second Trojan wrestler to bring home a national championship, as Careef Roberson claimed the title in 2005.
