For his little moment of fame, Nicholson may have been dressed as a senior defensive end, but his real love in life is music.
Since his freshman year, he has written and performed songs. At the time of his viral success, he was working on his own album.
He prudently chose the stage name Jackson Dean because there was already a fairly well-known person with the same name as Jack Nicholson.
In 2018, when discussing his football career, Jackson stated: “This is my last year, then I’m done.” I only need to be enrolled for this semester;
I will have completed all of my credits by January. My principal granted me a dispensation and is really supportive of my work.
