Nate Jackson assigned to Hawaiian Islanders
Former Waianae and Hawaii safety Nate Jackson is the newest member of the Hawaiian Islanders arenafootball2 team.
Jackson is coming back from a viral infection that led to surgery involving a heart valve replacement last year.
"I told (Islanders general manager) Chris Dey about him, and he gave him a call," Islanders coach Cal Lee said. "I think he'll be a defensive specialist. I look forward to him being in the same secondary with Eddie Klaneski."
Jackson, who made 318 tackles in his UH career, had a tryout with the Tennessee Titans before he got sick.
"I've kept in touch with the Titans and they said there is still a chance they could pick me up," Jackson said in a release. "If not, they said I could sign and be sent to NFL Europe."
The Islanders, going into their third season, will hold an open tryout on Feb. 22 (site to be determined) and start training camp March 17.
