USC's Austin Jackson donating bone marrow to ailing sister

USC offensive tackle Austin Jackson will donate bone barrow to his younger sister next week, the Trojans announced on Wednesday.

Jackson's younger sister, Autumn, suffers from Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a condition that results in bone marrow failing to produce red blood cells.

The team hasn't disclosed the junior lineman's timetable for recovery as a result of the procedure.

Jackson is a former four-star recruit who started 12 games at left tackle for USC in 2018.
