"Our program has devoted a tremendous amount of energy, resources, support and care in an effort to help Janzen manage his personal challenges,"... "I will always be there to help him as a person, but there comes a time when a player's actions preclude him from the privilege of playing for the University of Tennessee football team. "Although I'm disappointed with this outcome, we will never compromise the long-term organizational values and goals we maintain here at Tennessee."

Last season Jackson tied for the team leader with five interceptions and led all Vols defensive backs with 69 tackles.
