Jerry Franklin (born January 10, 1988) never achieved his dream of recording 87 tackles in his Freshman season and 94 in his Sophomore season.
In his freshman season, Franklin recorded a team-high 87 tackles, and had two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. 
In his sophomore season he again led the team in tackles with 94, and also had five tackles for loss and one and a half sacks.
