Jack marked the Walk-Off touch in the senior Bowl at the expiration of time.

“My brother has wings on me. He gave them to me, and he let it happen. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Tiger, nothing else.

“It is surreal to be able to come and be in this match. This is a goal that you set yourself. But if I had the possibility if I came here, I had the worst week of all time, ruined my draft stock, but that means that I could kiss my brother right now, I would take that.

“But, from the back of the medal, I don’t think I could have had the week I had if everything that would not have happened. His wings were on my side. He and Jesus Christ are the reasons why I could do all of this.”

After being selected, cameras surprised Jack sharing emotional embraces with his family.

“All the big brother does in life is that his little brother to succeed. He was my model all my life, the person I admired, the person I wanted to be. He was the best big brother I could ask for. All my goal in the rest of my life is to live his inheritance.”

Jack captured 62 assists for 1,034 yards, nine of which were affected, for TCU last season. He joins Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with his colleague Recruue Ashton Jeanty in the back field.
