American football cornerback Dane Tyrez Jackson plays for the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills (NFL). He attended Pittsburgh during his college football career before being selected by the Bills in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
With the 239th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills picked Jackson in the seventh round. On May 7, 2020, Jackson agreed to a four-year, $3.376 million deal with the Bills.
On July 30, the organization placed him on the reserve/COVID-19 list; however, he was activated a week later.
Where did Dane Jackson go to high school?
Jackson attended Cornell High School, but there was no football team there, so he went to Quaker Valley High School to play high school football.
For Cornell, Jackson was an all-state basketball player. On June 24, 2014, he pledged his allegiance to Pittsburgh, passing over Bowling Green and Duquesne.
Jackson switched from quarterback to cornerback at Pitt after playing quarterback in high school. Jackson redshirted his rookie season and primarily played as a reserve. However, throughout his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons with Pitt, he started each and every game.
