AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – He’s one of the most popular two-sport athletes to ever play as a pro.

Jackson says as one who has driven through the Texas town many times, he felt compelled to help.

Jackson says the last thing families of the victims needed “was to shell out thousands of dollars for something that never should have happened.”
