Jackson would be the LDE (on the closed side of the field) in that scheme which plays the 5-tech.
"The defensive end to the tight end side is responsible for controlling the C gap. He is an inside-foot to outside-foot alignment on the offensive tackle he is lining up against. If the tackle blocks inside then the defensive end has to close down with him in keep relative control of the C gap."
