Across 15 appearances off the bench, Jackson's tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent contribution, averaging over three per game with a single-match peak of nine — a strong return for a player logging limited minutes. His carrying is modest in volume but purposeful, suggesting his primary role upon entry is defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand exploitation. When the moment demands it, he can lift both metrics significantly, pointing to a player who reads the game well and raises his output under pressure.
