Very good processing and vision of the field, with a quick run/pass read and reaction to his assignment. Very good zone coverage processing, keeping his head on a swivel and reading the eyes of the QB to put himself in position to make a play on the ball with good ball skills and hands to make an interception.

Very good angles in the open field with the ability to track down runners who get past the third level. While no man coverage situations were observed on film, he displays the athleticism and processing to project he would have at least solid man coverage versus TEs and RBs. Overall, projects to be a starter in a Group-5 through mid-Power-5 team and might bring attention from top Power-5 programs as a developmental player due to his very good mental processing, competitive toughness, and natural feel for the game that cannot be ignored.u0026quot;}u0022 data-sheets-userformat=u0022{u0026quot;2u0026quot;:13057,u0026quot;3u0026quot;:{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:0},u0026quot;11u0026quot;:3,u0026quot;12u0026quot;:0,u0026quot;15u0026quot;:u0026quot;Calibri, sans-serifu0026quot;,u0026quot;16u0026quot;:11}u0022u003eJackson has garnered some interest from schools but more need to take notice.

Very good point strength and anchor when engaged with an offensive lineman and does not lose ground while keeping his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage. Good versus the run, able to easily shed blocks due to the separation he creates, and will bring down the ball carrier in his gap. He is also an effective pass rusher with good closing speed on the QB that disrupts the timing of the QB in his set with the ability to finish with a sack.

He is a good tackler and a hard hitter. In pass coverage he makes his presence known to anyone who catches the ball across the middle by lowering his shoulder and knocking them off their feet.

He also is a receiving threat for Cosby's offense as he is a solid route runner, with good acceleration and release into his route, and his size allows him to always be open. He displays good ball skills and can high point the catch and can adjust to throws in traffic to secure the catch. Also plays EDGE on defense, and he has good pass-rushing skills, causing distress to the QB with good finish to disrupt the play.
