Kenyon Jackson serves as the Assistant Defensive line coach for the Houston Texans and formerly, Assistant Defensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins. Under Jackson's guidance, in 2021, the Dolphins defense amassed 48.0 sacks, which tied for fifth-most in the NFL. Jackson also led Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins to hold the record for highest total tackles (89) by any Dolphins lineman since 1993. DL Emmanuel Ogbah also posted a career-high 12 passes defensed, the most by an NFL defensive lineman since 2016 under the direction of Jackson.
Jackson, a Little Rock Arkansas native has a lineage in the NFL as the son of former NFL TE Keith Jackson, a six-time Pro Bowl selection through nine seasons with the Eagles, Dolphins and Packers. Kenyon's brother, Keith Jackson Jr., was an All-SEC defensive lineman at Arkansas and was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round (248th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft.
An honor roll student at Parkview Magnet High School in Little Rock, Ark., Jackson was a two-time all-state and all-conference player (2014-15) as a defensive tackle. Jackson spent four seasons (2016-19) as a defensive lineman playing under Head Coach Lovie Smith at the University of Illinois, where he appeared in 31 games and earned a degree in Communication from the University.
Diagnosed as a T1D in his adolescence, Jackson never allowed his diagnosis to be an obstacle in his life goals. Aside from football, Jackson spends his time volunteering in his community, visiting art museums and trying new food. In 2023, Jackson plans to host an athletic camp for children with diabetes!

We are excited to welcome Becky Butler for 2 sessions at TypeOneNation! She will be speaking on “How to go from Primary Caregiver to Co-Caregiver” and “Helping Your T1D Through Burnout”. Becky has been a social worker for 24 years working with children and families in the community and presently in the hospital/clinic setting at Texas Children's Hospital. She meets with families diagnosed with diabetes from new onset until they transition out of the pediatric clinic.
As you all know, diabetes can be a hard disease to manage. Becky, along with other diabetes social workers and diabetes psychologists, work together with the family to identify any needs or diabetes burnout. They then can help reduce the stress and burnout of diabetes and while improving mental and physical health outcomes. As a medical social worker, she also assists with school needs, disability services, and barriers to receiving optimal diabetes care.”
