Curious development...Jackson says that the NCAA probation had nothing to do with the decision to move from USC to Texas Southern. His brother is also on the Trojans' team.
Speculation on the Southern Cal message boards is that he did not meet the grade requirements of USC. No indication from below article that this is the case.
Same board did make a TSU reference, saying he'll look like teh next Michael Strahan.
Houston - Defensive end Marquis Jackson, who had verbally committed to play college football at USC, told FOX 26 Sports Tuesday he signed scholarship papers to play at Texas Southern University.
Jackson, who played junior college football at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California in 2008, did not play last season.
By choosing to play for the Tigers Jackson will not get the opportunity to be reunited with his twin brother, Malik, who has played defensive end for the Trojans for the past two years.
