He also had 3.5 sacks for 18-yards lost and 5.5 tackles for 23-yards lost, one fumble caused and on pass broken up.

#32 Brandon Jackson
2006 First-Team All-Big 12 (Associated Press,
San Antonio Express News, Houston Chronicle)
2006 Second-Team All-Big 12 (Coaches,
Kansas City Star, Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
NU Single-Game Record for All-Purpose Attempts (41 vs. Colorado)
ABC/Chevrolet Player of the Game (Texas, Oklahoma St., Missouri, Colorado)
2006 Brook Berringer Citizenship Team
2004 Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall Academic Honor Roll
I-back Brandon Jackson experienced a breakout season as a junior in 2006, emerging from a talented group of running backs to lead a recharged Nebraska running attack. Jackson proved he was a complete back who not only possessed the speed to turn the corner, but also the power to run between the tackles. He was also a reliable receiving threat out of the Husker backfield. After an All-Big 12 season, Jackson chose to forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft.
Jackson became the workhorse for the Huskers beginning with the Iowa State game, when he carried 22 times for 116 yards. After that contest, he averaged nearly 20 carries and 100 yards rushing per game and finished 2006 with 989 rushing yards, falling just shy of recording the 28th, 1,000-yard rushing season in school history.
