Jackson to Play in D3 Senior Classic

Albright senior wide receiver Malik Jackson has been selected to play in DIII Senior Classic in Myrtle Beach, S.C. on Saturday, December 16 at 12:30 p.m.

Jackson wrapped up his Albright career this season by finishing with 2,054 receiving yards on 163 receptions and 14 touchdowns. His play this season earned him First-Team All-MAC honors at wide receiver for the first time as a Lion.

He posted career bests with 826 receiving yards on 59 receptions and six touchdowns, while leading the Lions in receiving yards. Jackson ranked seventh in the MAC in receiving yards and receiving yards per game with 75.1. The Baltimore native also posted three 100-yard receiving yard games on the season as well.

The D3 senior classic is the third of five bowl games during the 2017 International Scouting Showcase, and was developed to honor the top D3 graduating seniors from the 2017 season. The ISS is comprised of three collegiate all-star games, two free-agent scout bowls, one national kicking championship and one pro-level combine. The game also serves as a free agent pipeline to North American and European Professional Leagues annually.
