In 1990 in particular, Provitt played a huge role in the Raiders' state championship as they went 14-0. Now, nearly two decades later, Ohio now has to deal with his son, Desmar Jackson. Now, it's unfair to just expect any player to live up to Provitt's expectations. Jackson knows that, but he's set the bar high for himself as well. Offensively, he uses his 6'5 body to get good podition on opposing defensive backs, that is if he doesn't run away from them first, and his soft hands are reminiscent of his father's. Defensively, he's willing to throw his body around to make stops. With his size at this stage of his career (he doesn't graduate until 2009), Jackson's potential is through the roof, and the scary thing is that he might be better in basketball. Only time will tell how his story ends, and the next few chapters aren't going to be very pleasing to opposing teams. Here is film of Jakson's sophomore season courtesy of scoutingohio.com. It has an "old school" twist to it.
