Over his time with the Quakers, Slackman posted 113 tackles, 10.5 sacks, three pass deflections, and a forced fumble.

Slackman played high school football at Commack (NY) as a member of the 2020 class.

Per On3’s Portal Rankings, Slackman was the No. 2 DL available behind only Walter Nolen, the No. 1 available player on the board. He ranked as the No. 12 transfer overall in the portal.

After entering the portal, big-name programs immediately began to compete for his services with several offers coming in. However, after a successful visit to Gainesville, Billy Napier earned a major recruiting win in the portal by turning Slackman into a Gator for next season.
