Background: Jackson will likely be a first year starter for the defending CHSFL champions. He is a raw QB with a ton of promise, and took limited reps last year mainly in garbage time. 

Size: Standing at 6’2″ 185-Pounds, he has a solid but undersized frame for a QB. He is a dual threat style playmaker, who should look to reach the 195-200 pound mark throughout High School. 

Arm Accuracy/Strength: Jackson showcases solid accuracy and the ability to throw the ball into tight windows. He can reach all three levels of the field and does so accurately. Both strength and accuracy can continue to improve.

Footwork: His footwork is excellent, and I like his ability to use his legs to escape the pocket. Throws on the run he showcases good footwork, and delivers accurate balls. Footwork is one of his best traits. 

Mechanics: Mechanics are a work in progress of Jackson, and something I see improving with more reps this season. His accuracy has improved due to his continued work in this aspect, and I think it will continue to help him improve at the Position.

IQ: He is a smart player and is excellent with RPO, and Option schemes. I like his ability to take care of the ball and move around the pocket to avoid pressure. Smart player who can win with his brain.

Final Word: Jackson is a raw but promising QB who can easily play at the next level. He should work on his accuracy and mechanics going forward, and continue to use his footwork and IQ, for his game, as they set him apart from most QB’s.
