Georgia Southern Awards Former Colts LB Edwin Jackson Posthumous Degree

Timothy RappMay 7, 2018

Edwin Jackson, the former Indianapolis Colts linebacker who was killed by a drunk driver in February, was given a posthumous degree Saturday by Georgia Southern. 

His parents accepted the degree on his behalf:

Jackson was a walk-on at the school before making the NFL, where he appeared in 16 games for the Colts in 2016, registering 66 tackles and two sacks.

He and Jeffrey Monroe, 54, were killed while standing outside of Monroe's car after being hit by a pickup truck operated by Manuel Orrego-Savala, 37, who has since been charged with "causing death while driving intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident," per ESPN.com.
