He’s learning to be a safety at Nebraska. In his mind, that means learning to basically be one of the quarterbacks of the defense. A guy who knows not just what he’s supposed to do within the scheme, but why he’s supposed to do it and what it means to the big picture of the defense. “It’s pretty challenging mentally,” he says. “You've just got to grind through it and pick it up each and every day and learn more and more.” And so the sophomore studies film whenever he can, and is among a group of young defensive backs who stays after each practice listening to secondary coach Terry Joseph.

Defensive coordinator John Papuchis said going into the spring that there likely will be an important role for Charles Jackson in this defense. Whether it be safety, nickel or cornerback, “we’re going to get him on the field one way or another.”
