Jackson Ostroski
Charleston,IL
Summary
Motivated to become the professional that I know I can be. Football has provided me with opportunities as a player as well as now in the coaching world and giving back to the people coming up is the mission. Being a coach that has created a group in which 6 TE scored a touchdown, the greatest aspect of that was seeing the other TE be the first to celebrate with their group members. Fostering an environment where the guys understand the care and love while also being able to then handle tough moments is my goal. That goal is achieved by being available at any moment to work and by my love for the unseen work. Leaving Drake for Eastern Illinois, I took the role as the OL graduate assistant to further my football knowledge. In the span as the only offensive GA, I grew in my holistic understanding of the sport as well as adapted to a different offensive system under the guidance of John Cannova.
