In 2003 he also lettered in basketball for the Wildcats. O'Hara left school after his brother had a kidney transplant. In 2005, O'Hara returned to the field in Junior College playing one season for Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College where in eight games he threw for 1,322 yards, eight touchdowns, and earned All-Conference honors.

"O'Hara is very athletic and has a strong arm," stated Assistant Head Coach Director of Player Personnel George Eskridge. "He possesses good size at 6'6 and has played in some big games."

Jackson is an offensive lineman that played college ball at Miles College in Alabama. In two seasons, 2004 and 2005, he started in 22 games.
