“It’s an honor. As much as they worked, and how hard they worked, and how I looked at A-Lowe, how he pushed forward after Ty died, it’s an honor for me to honor those guys this year. I’m going to enjoy repping the guys this year.”
Utah Utes quarterback Ja'Quinden Jackson runs for a touchdown as the University of Utah hosts Washington State, NCAA football in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021.When it came time to vote for this season’s recipient of the Ty Jordan/Aaron Lowe Memorial Scholarship, Ja’Quinden Jackson was the obvious choice.
“It still takes a toll on me,” he said Monday. “There are days when I’m not feeling it. Days when I’m happy and that has a lot to do with reflecting on how A-Lowe carried himself after Ty died. He was a strong, independent person. He played for Ty, he lived for Ty, so now I want to do this for them.”
Jackson’s own vote went to cornerback Clark Phillips III. The vast majority of the Utes, however, believed the quarterback was the most deserving.Said Jackson: the Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship was announced on Jan. 5, 2021 “He comes to work with the right mindset each and every day. He just embodies what it means to have that 22% and really hone in on getting 22% better,” Rising said. “And yeah, it also helps that he was close to those guys, but I think that’s why he embodies it so well.”
