“To start this off, I’ve been experiencing hard times since I’ve arrived to college but always managed to see through,” Jackson wrote on Instagram. “I appreciate all of the support from my family, friends and teammates. Without you guys especially my teammates I wouldn’t have gotten this far. The decision was made based on my future and what will come. I have been medically disqualified to play football again due to my sickle cell but USC is still honoring my scholarship and I’ll finish school with a degree. I thank everyone and keep me in your prayers. Spurs Up.”

I remember hearing a story of Ryan Clark.
Played a game in Denver and almost died because of it

So here's something most fans do not know but this applies to every team in the NCAA.
Weekly reports and regular tests are done on players and the sickle cell report comes out every week or two.
Everyone on the staff and every trainer is aware of the gene carriers on the team ... not all have sickle cell, but sometimes a dozen may be carriers of the gene.
It's closely monitored.
We lost one this time. He'll get the absolute best care there is.
We've had many over the years that are carriers. It effects many important decisions they have to make during the course of their lives.
