Eddie Jackson’s playing career at Alabama ended after fracturing his leg on Saturday in the Texas A&M game.

The absence of the star defensive back and special teams player will be a huge loss to the Crimson Tide, but Jackson is maintaining a positive attitude, thanking everyone for their support and pledging to stay involved with the team in an Instagram post on Monday:

I just want to say thank you to everyone for checking on me and all the prayers all I know is how to bounce back, as a team we still have unfinished business and I’m not going anywhere until it’s over, I want to say thank you to coach Saban and the coaching staff and also the University Of Alabama for the best four years of my life I learned and grew a lot now it’s time to help coach my boys up and finish this thing…God Is In Control???RTR!!
