Per The Blade: Falcons Land Transfer

The Blade has some good news for the Falcons today...they have landed a transfer from Pittsburgh.  He is defensive lineman Terrell Jackson, a 6'3", 275 lb player from Marion-Franklin in Columbus.  He originally committed to Duke, then went to Pitt, red-shirted a year and now is heading to Bowling Green.  He will sit out this season and have three years of eligibility next year, according to the article.

Here is how The Blade captured his HS career:

Jackson was an All-Ohio first-team pick as a senior in 2011, posting 75 tackles and 20 sacks to lead Marion-Franklin to a 13-1 record, the Columbus City League South championships, and the semifinals of the Division II state playoffs. 
He was named Central District D-II defensive player of the year and selected to play in last year’s Big 33 Football Classic.

BG is clearly determined to remain strong up front and this is a part of that equation.  He was clearly a very productive player in HS.  I believe that getting Chris Jones drafted helps us land a guy like this.  So, welcome to the Falcons, Terrell.
