Jackson absolutely passes the eye test. Strong lower body, able to dig in and move guys out of the way at the point of contact as a blocker on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively, he was a nightmare to block. Great get off speed, doesn’t get moved by weak block attempts and has the ability to crush down any semblance of a gap. The Air Force commit showed exactly why Howell holds teams to low scoring numbers routinely- they allow NOTHING up the middle, and it starts with Pahl.

I think it speaks volumes that Davenport sent out an early April offer. This is a player with great size, great strength, and he’s coming off a successful 12-game season.

Back in November, I scouted Jackson at his playoff game against Hudsonville. I stated that Jackson “could very easily be a GLIAC prospect this coming spring”, and it seems like I was right on the money with that prediction.

A big reason why Jackson is likely to earn more GLIAC offers is his size and physicality. Size speaks for itself- not many people on earth are 6’3″ 235. As for physicality, Jackson does a great job anchoring down against the run, and powering through the line against the pass. Good getoff as well. I would ideally like to see a bit better bend, and I think Jackson can prove himself more against good pass blockers.

Game-wrecker in the KLAA. Should have a ton of success as camp season ramps up and should play even better during his Senior season.
