Adoree’ Jackson is ready for track season

Adoree’ Jackson starred in last year’s Holiday Bowl, scoring on a kickoff return and a spectacular catch-and-run pass play.

On Wednesday, Jackson caught three passes for 32 yards, including a key fourth-down catch-and-run play that set up USC’s first touchdown.

USC got a scare near the end of the first half when Jackson broke up a pass in the end zone. Jackson laid on the turf and was attended to by trainers, but he got up on his own and played the rest of the game.

Jackson is scheduled to skip spring practice so that he can concentrate on the long jump. Jackson is the defending Pac-12 champion and is aiming to qualify for the U.S. Olympic trials.

He finished the season with 987 yards and eight touchdowns.

Quick hit

Cornerback Kevon Seymour, who suffered an ankle sprain last week during practice, did not play. Seymour, a senior, finished his career with 126 tackles and three interceptions.
