season, it will not be at his familiar inside
linebacker position.
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.”

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."

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.

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.”
