Three freshmen shine in spring game

Posted Apr 12, 2010
Mywan Jackson had it all planned out. For his mother Terrie Green’s birthday on Saturday, he was going to give her two interceptions as his present. He started the day by collecting a tipped pass off of the fingertips of Todd Harrelson, then out-jumped Harrelson for a second pick, this time in the end zone — and his goal was attained. “I told her I was going to get two picks for her, and it played out how I wanted it to,” Jackson said.
