Army’s Brandon Jackson passes
Someone sent a link to the sad news that Army’s cornerback, 20-year-old sophomore Brandon Jackson was killed in an automobile accident Sunday. The brightest star of USMA’s football squad, from Queens, NY, played in every game last year as a freshman and led the team with 3 interceptions and 62 tackles. Already this year, he accounted for six tackles and two pass breakups.
According to Croton-on-Hudson police Detective Sgt. John Nikitopoulos, police received a call at 1:50 a.m. Sunday about a motor vehicle crash. When they arrived on the scene, they saw a single car had crashed into the guardrail. The driver was still in the car when responders arrived, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

RIP young man
Rest well, sir.
I watched him Saturday in Army’s win against Rice. He was a local kid, from Queens, and attended Holy Cross High School. His mom is in the Army Reserve and was in Iraq in 2006. The car reportedly hit a guardrail and flipped. This sucks terribly. All of the happiness attendant to Army’s 2-0 start is now gone and the country has lost a future officer and decent human being.
The car just crashed into a guard rail and killed him?
Speed? Weather? Seat belts? Texting? Alcohol? Road rage? Maintenence? Traffic?
Reporting?
Nothing yet. Whatever the reason (cut off/swerved to avoid another car/ animal/ped or a blowout) he’s gone and that sucks.
Hack always buckles up, as well as ensuring all passengers are. Minus one minor accident where Hack was rear ended, he never had an accident, so he is overdue. Besides, he owes to his fellow coworkers at that proud woman owned software company formerly located on Wilson Lane in Bethesda an open casket.
Being someone who deals with this kind of thing professionally, I try not to make assumptions. Accidents happen to even the best of us in the best of circumstances.
A promising life cut far too short. God rest him, and bless his family.
A promising life taken way to soon.
Unless something has changed, Freshmen and Sophomores were not permitted to drive during the school year unless on leave.
I was wondering about that.
What ever the case may be, another young life cut short, or to paraphrase TOW, sometimes crap happens.
I wish it were not so …
I’m guessing DUI. 20-year-olds do stupid things like that.
A good man, lost too soon.
Sadness
What a sad loss.
So Sad ?
Rest Well brother
Rest in Peace, Cadet Brandon Jackson
Rest in peace, young man. Gone far too soon.
I’ll take a knee….so horrible. R.I.P. young man.
Be square with the world. You may not have as much time left as you hope.
Rest in Peace, sir.
