Demetrius Jackson giving up football

[The Franchise]

I don’t know if he’s interested in politics, but he could be a Congressman repping his District in a couple years.

 

[rickross]

I don't think he has a choice

True Cane! Wish some of these youngsters would take a look at the example he sets!

 

[mdpcane]

would much rather see an announcement that certain people are giving up coaching (using the term loosely)

the Downvote Dip****s are too **** easy !

 

[simplycanes]

Nothing but love and respect for the young man. His future is bright.

I'm glad this young man realizes and respects that he has options. I've seen way too many players out themselves in a box and go about life like football is all God gave them and act like they have nothing else to offer this world. Couldn't be a bigger lie!!!!!

Always rooting for DJ! Stay blessed

 

[passitback]

God bless this young man. Wise well beyond his years.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Outstanding student athlete and representative of the University of Miami. Wish there were more kids like him. Great story, great kid, bright future.

 

[Paranos]

Started sowing those seeds early, good for him.

 

[Home Slice]

Great run young man. Best of luck in your future endeavors. You've got a great future ahead of you.

 

[JHallCanes]

Cursed progrum

He was breaking the **** out before that injury

However, he seems to have a mission so it may be a blessing for his future. No more concussions, injuries etc just life.

 

[ucaned]

Teaches you to enjoy the things you love as if they will not be here tomorrow. Best of luck in the future to a great Cane, thanks for wearing the U and representing the university well.

 

[Paranos]

Future Mayor and senator right there

i said all year. he just didnt recover right. i wish him the best.

It was clear. D Jax was a man at setting the edge and being able to get off the block to make tackles. He was a pass bat down specialist. The speed wasn't there nor quickness. We have lost some incredible talent over the last few years w/ this strength and conditioning team.

When D committed to us, I got goose bumps. Although he was a four star on some recruiting services, he was considered the icing v. being the cake. D Jax complimented Chad so well and then began to make a name for himself. I knew he would be great here b/c of the passion he showed on National Signing Day.

I wish his career wasn't cut short by injuries, but his real career has just started. Saluting my guy....wishing him nothing but major success. True Cane, indeed.

 

[umhurricane2511]

Awesome, awesome young man. One others should try to emulate.

Wish him nothing but the best wherever life takes him.

 

[TC7D]

Class act. Truly one of the best all around individuals to ever wear a Canes uniform. Wish him nothing but the best. He's going far in life.

 

[Hargre22]

Richt ain't been **** but bad luck!

 

[hotshot]

Classy.

 

[k9cane]

He's got much greater and important things ahead of him than any game. D-Jack has already made an impact on his community and will only continue to become more and more of a leader locally. This guy has been a great credit to the program, the University and his city

Among all the negative stuff from this season, honestly, this here is a great thing to see. Forget about the shoddy coaching and all the other issues, it's guys like Jackson that are the heart beat of this program and why we keep coming back to it.

Godspeed Cane brother. Go do what you were called to do. #Respect
