Jackson was a Second Team all-conference selection in 2018, recording 56 total tackles and one interception in 12 games. Hames also appeared in every game last year, recording 39 total tackles.
Conference USA will announce their preseason poll on Tuesday. Marshall’s season opener is August 31 against VMI.
