CHarles Jackson Will Be On Campus Next Week

[Red Reign]

Great news with all he has been through....

Jackson hired a trainer a few weeks ago, just to make sure he'd be in good shape for Nebraska's summer strength and conditioning program.

He'd already been working out three times a day during the week. Up as early as 5 a.m. sometimes, just for a wake-up run. Then the gym, where he occasionally mimicked routines off YouTube.

He never wanted to go to a junior college, even though there were coaches who called. He never wanted to reopen his recruitment, either — Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, USC and Arkansas were among the schools that showed interest last fall.

He kept in contact with coach Bo Pelini and assistant John Papuchis. One call a week, per NCAA rules.

He's struck up a friendship with incoming freshman linebacker Michael Rose. A former high school teammate, David Santos, is a redshirt freshman linebacker.

All the rest here....a story really worth the read:

sounds like a really solid Kid (corner skills aren't bad either)! All good things come to though who wait, lets hope it does for Charles not only on the football field but in the class room as well. I love rooting for these type of kids, can't wait to see him this fall

Arguably the top CB in the 2011 national class....

Sounds like a good work ethic.

Go CJ. You have to believe he will come in with his hair on fire and after his clearinghouse issues. He will be a good player before it's all said and done. GBR

FINALLY, the wait is over and offical, Welcome to Lincoln on this fine Sunday.

And he just finished his first class on campus just a bit ago....
