Scouting the pro prospects: Defensive linemen - CBS Sportsline
...4. Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC, 6-4, 265, Jr.

Don't look now, but the Trojans have another All-American candidate at defensive end. While first-team Pac-10 selection Frostee Rucker was nothing to sneeze at in 2005, the team clearly was missing the dominant presence Kenechi Udeze, Mike Patterson and Shaun Cody provided in recent seasons. Jackson, already a two-year starter, has developed into a similar dominating force.

He impressed in 2003 as a redshirt freshman by recording 32 tackles and six sacks. This past season, however, Jackson emerged as arguably the best defensive lineman in the Pac-10....College fans may want to appreciate this junior in 2006 in case he bolts early for the NFL...
