Bio

Major: Exercise Science

Minor: Coaching

Tajii Jackson’s favorite thing about Union Commonwealth University is playing alongside his teammates on the field. Tajii wants to be remembered for his positive attitude, crediting Mrs. Tori and Stephanie Smith as making a positive impact on his life at Union.

Outside of football, Tajii enjoys spending time with his family, girlfriend, and kids. He also has a pit bull named Diesel and a pet turtle.

His dream is to play in the NFL, and he is also interested in becoming a personal trainer because he likes helping people improve in their sport. His favorite subject in high school was science.

Tajii looks up to several icons including Ray Lewis, Barry Sanders, Brian Dawkins, and Chris Johnson. His favorite drink is Powerade fruit punch, and his favorite road trip snack is gummies. His favorite meal is seafood.

Basketball and track are his second-best sports.
