Western Kentucky junior LB Andrew Jackson tweeted that he is returning for his senior season.
It may seem like a random name, but Jackson is one of the nation's best run defenders between the tackles and consistently shows positive awareness and physical play. He is squatty, so Jackson lacks ideal range, but expect to hear his name more often throughout the 2013 season. Jan 9 - 9:52 AM

Andrew Jackson - LB - Hilltoppers

Western Kentucky beat writer Chad Bishop believes junior ILB Andrew Jackson is "50-50" to declare for the NFL Draft.

Many may look at Jackson and question this move since he spent his college career playing for the Hilltoppers. However, after film evaluation, Jackson likely has an NFL future as a run stuff inside linebacker in a three or four man front. His short and squatty stature lends the eye to believe he may not have the range necessary to be adequate in coverage, but good workout numbers could change that.

Andrew Jackson - LB - Hilltoppers

Bobby Petrino will be announced as Western Kentucky's next head coach later this afternoon.

Obviously Petrino is known for his offensive background at Louisville, the Atlanta Falcons, and at Arkansas. The Hilltoppers are graduating their top quarterback in senior Kawaun Jakes, but a talented defense led by junior inside linebacker Andrew Jackson helped Western Kentucky reach a 7-5 record in 2012.
