24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Logan Jackson – Cabot

Cabot’s promising postseason run was cut short in the Class 7A quarterfinals last season. Led by senior linebacker Logan Jackson, the Panthers are laser-focused on breaking through this fall.

“We’re trying to make a run and go as far as we can,” Jackson said. “We know it will take more than just talk. We have to lock in, push each other and handle the little things right.”

An eight-year veteran of the game, his passion for the gridiron is palpable.

“Football has always been my outlet,” Jackson said. “I love its intensity, energy and atmosphere. It keeps me grounded when life feels all over the place.”

Against a tough Class 7A Central conference, he and the Panthers see each matchup as a must-win game.

“This season, my goal is to be a reliable leader who is always there to lend a helping hand to my teammates,” Jackson said. “By leading the team in tackles, I can help Cabot leave a mark this season.”  

“People gravitate to Logan because of his leadership qualities and playmaking abilities,” Head Coach Scott Reed said. “He has made tremendous progress this offseason, and we look for him to take the next step in becoming a better player than he already is.”

After high school, Jackson hopes to continue playing at the next level while pursuing a dream career in nursing.

“I’m grateful for where I’m at and I’m not finished yet,” he said. “I have goals and I am chasing them every day.”
