Film Highlight Review: Jackson plays outside WR and CB. Jackson is a very good athlete, who shows body control and good hand-eye coordination. He is a true hands catcher of the football and can run the route tree. At CB he shows toughness and willingness to come downhill to make tackles. Jackson is a prospect to keep your eyes on.

Projection: His physical measurables (height and weight) align him as a Division 1 prospect.
