Instead, the fifth year senior to-be will line up at the unfamiliar position of defen sive end. What started off as an experiment at the beginning of spring practice has turned out to be a permanent move, A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said. “We’re really pleased with him,” Slocum said. *T think he’s made a great adjustment." A&M defensive coordinator Tommy Tu- berville echoed Slocum’s sentiments con cerning the move. Tuberville said that given Jackson’s increasing size, he probably has a better opportunity of contribuiting to the team by playing defensive end. “It looks like he’s taken to it well,’’ Tu berville said. “He’s getting better everyday and we think that he s going to he an out standing player.” Tuberville said that Jackson possesses sev eral tools that make him an outstanding ballplayer. ‘ He’s got superb athletic ability, great quickness, and a lot of height,” Tuberville said. “He’s ver^ coachable and he’s got a great work ethic. ’ Tuberville also cited Jackson’s ability to lead his teammates as a plus. With a great deal of younger players expected to step into contributing roles next season, the coaching staff will count on Jackson to be a leader. Jackson expressed his comfort with the role. “After being here for four years, it’s finally my turn,” Jackson said. “You can’t ask guys that just got here, who haven’t been in a bat tle on the (college) football field, to lead you.” William 11 nrrison/y'/t? Ihtldi» Newly appointed A&M defensive end Larry Jackson (middle) runs through drills during the football team's spring practice. Jackson has been in those big games. Af ter starring on special teams as a redshirt freshman on A&M’s 1991 SWC Champi onship team, Jackson earned a starting role at inside linebacker the following season. Un fortunately, Jackson broke his hand in the SMU game and was forced to miss the re mainder of the season including a return trip to the Cotton Bowl. Jackson reassumed his spot at inside line backer last year when former A&M inside linebacker Jessie Cox was suspended for the entire season by the NCAA. The three-time letterman responded to the pressure placed upon him and was an integral part of A&M’s third consecutive SWC championship team. Jackson said that he has no regrets about his career at A&M even though his team nev er won the Cotton Bowl during their three year run and that they are not eligible at an other shot next season, his final one as an A 8g ie - , , ‘The best thing that ever happened me since I’ve been here is being able to play, get on the field, and contribute to A&M s victo ries.” Jackson said. “I would have wanted to win (the Cotton Bowl) but I’m sure anyone would have wanted to. “When it comes down to it, we accom plished a whole lot.” As far as adjusting to his new positionii; concerned, Jackson feels extremely confident in his ability to contribute and subsequently succeed. “I’m learning about it everyday," Jackson said. "Actually it is a lot better thanwhenlj started (practicing) there on the first day" Although by defensive line standards he is not a big player, Jackson believes that his speed will play a major factor in his ability to make a solid contribution. At 6 feet 4 inches and 239 pounds, Jackson believes that if he hulks up to around 2 55, he will be at an op timum playing weight to succeed against 300 pound offensive linemen. “At linebacker I didn't necessarily have to hit every single play,” Jackson said. "Playing on the line, my job is to neutralize the (ol- fensive) linemen. “It’s a lot more physical there.” Jackson, like his coaches, believe that his football future after college may be at defen sive end. Jackson said that he will continue to work daily to be able to compete effective ly by the time the 1 994 season rolls around. “I would like to have a good, strong sea son,” Jackson said. “I will try to stay low profile and take care of my business." sing RAYEI Softball Continued from Page 5 game 7-2. “I think the team played well, because it was our last home game,” said Gerken, who went five for seven with three RBI’s and three runs scored. “It was a very important game for us.” Gonzalez, who ranks second in the nation in wins, raised her record to 25-9. Kiolbassa’s loss lowered her record to 5-10. “Southwest Texas State came in here and gave us everything we could handle in the first game,” said Head Coach Bob Brock. “In the second game, our bats started to fall right into place. If we do very well on our up com ing road trip maybe were talking a regional bid.” Tne Aggies will travel to Ar lington for a Wednesday double- header against the University of Texas at Arlington before defend ing their title at the Frost Cutlery Collegiate Tournament this weekend at Chattanooga, Tenn. Baseball Continued from Page 5 Johnson said the late inning heroics gave him confidence the Aggies will start getting some breaks around Olsen Field. “We have some Olsen Field magic,” he said. “We haven’t had it lately, so that’s the touch of something we haven’t had lately.” Buchman and shortstop Rich Petru helped get the Aggies out of the inning when they com bined for a 2-6-2 throw out at home. With men on first and third, the Roadrunners’ Mickey Peret decided to steal second. Buchinan allowed him the steal by throw ing to Petru, who cut off the throw and blasted back to Buch man for the tag at home. Buchman said the Aggies ex pected the double-steal attempt "Coach Johii$hfi puNffet (i/4 we practice everyday," Buchman said. “I just tried to get athrow for Rich to handle. “It helped our club comeback in the bottom of the inning, and things started rolling after that.” I With Itress a: I class lou wc plague out the Jo studi from tl ework Stud know |ors v |hem, could need ti lion a 1 |sors.
