Ferguson played college football at Louisiana Tech, where he set an NCAA record for career sacks with 45. The feat earned him the nickname “Sack Daddy.” He was chosen by the Ravens in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played for the team for three seasons and was preparing to report to training camp in July for the 2022 season. Ferguson played 38 games in his three seasons, starting 10 of them.
This man was absolutely incredible for Louisiana Tech, he had 187 Tackles, 67.5 Tackles for Loss, 45 Sacks, 6 Pass Breakups, 7 Forced Fumbles and 3 Fumble Recoveries.

So saddened to hear of the sudden passing of @Ravens OLB Jaylon Ferguson. Always went out of his way to say hi to me. Was looking really good this spring by all accounts. To be gone at the tender age of 26 is heartbreaking. My deepest condolences to the Ferguson family & friends
