Glad to see that BG deferred on this guy and not picking up the trash from Tatoo U.

I think the title of this thread should have been POTENTIAL Transfer Arrested.

Won't be playing here now....

Anyone remember that a "former OSU" basketball player who transferred to BG (many yrs. ago) was busted for holding up a gas station?

No wonder Urban didn't seem too upset with this kid leaving....and we wouldn't want Freddie or Freida tackled anyway.

Trent Jackson! I believe it was actually the drive through carryout that he robbed.

I could be wrong but didn't he at least have the decency to wait until after his senior season was completed before he took up robbery as a hobby?

Hmm ... based off some other players from the school, you'd think if he didn't transfer he would have earned a higher spot on the depth chart at OSU ...

Yes. If I recall correctly his tools of the trade included a wig and a bicycle for a getaway. Not exactly a Heat-caliber operation.

Thanks Ohio State.

Interesting read...

Maybe we should have said "no thanks" before taking him.

Yes, he waited until after the season. Plus, he used a knife. At the end of season banquet, he led the opening prayer (I believe his father was a pastor, too) then proceed to drop f-bombs during his recognition. Classy.

I found out more about his father - he taught in the Rochester schools for more than 30 years.

His father was some type of athlete.

Trent Sr. attended Benjamin Franklin High School, where he set the National High School Record in the 100 yard dash (9.4). After being taught, coached, and mentored by Coach Mauro Panaggio, TJ pursued his dream at the University of Illinois. TJ became a Collegiate All-American, as well as Big Ten, Rose Bowl, and National Champion, lettering on the track, football, basketball, and baseball teams. In 1964, he won the Big Ten 100 yard Dash in 9.5, the 220 yard dash in 21.3, and anchored the championship 440 yard relay, the NCAA 4x110 yard relay championship, set the National Collegiate Record in the 100 meter dash (10.1), won the AAU 100 meter championship, the US Olympic Trials 100 meter dash, represented the United States at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan and became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. In 1965 he finished 3rd at the NCAA 60 yard dash. Then, he led Illinois to the 4x440 yard relay championship at the outdoor Big 10 championship. TJ held the 100 meter record at Illinois for 40 years.

In 1966, Trent was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. However, he chose to play football in the National Football League. He played for the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles.

He taught in the Rochester City School District for over 30 years. Winning six Section V Basketball Championships in 1984, ’86, ’93, ’94, ’96, and 2000, while becoming a State Finalist in 1993 and 1996. One of Trent’s proudest accomplishments included the opportunity to coach his daughters in Track and Field, leading Nicole to three Section V titles. TJ received Section V “Coach of the Year” Honors in 1996 and 2000, when he led his son Trent Jr. to Section V “Player of the Year” honors. Coach Jackson was inducted, into the Section V Track and Field, Football, and Basketball Hall of Fames as a player and coach.

The athletic complex at Franklin High School was dedicated to him in 2011. He passed away in 2007. Too bad the son fell away so far from the tree.

Trent Jackson, Sr was a legend in Rochester sports. In the 1964 Olympics, he injured himself in a 100m heat and lost his chance at winning a medal.

When I was a football official, I worked a game at Franklin and Trent Jr. was my ball boy. . .

Perkins is transferring to Illinois State.....
