Expert Analysis

This is actually my first time writing about Jaxon this year. It’s no secret that he’s blown up this season after last season was cut short due to injury.
I must say, Jaxon was also my most difficult ranking.
Although he just received an offer from Michigan State, we have him ranked #48, very close to several other RBs. That said, I have a high D2 – MAC grade on Jaxon.rnThere are some near-elite traits that Jaxson has that are bolstering his recruitment. First off, he’s a big-bodied player at 6’2″ 225 with long legs and amazing conditioning. He’s able to be a bellcow. In the film you can see below, you’ll also find that Jaxon has excellent vision and falls forward on practically all of his carries. Once he hits a hole, he’s difficult to stop or catch up with.rnI do think he can use some work with general fast-twitch athleticism and he’s generally unproven against great defenses. He reaches top speed quickly and is pretty dang fast, but I don’t see a lot of making guys miss like Russell-Dixon and other RBs just ahead of him can do. Granted Jaxon is much taller than most RBs, but that’s something I’d like to see. He also has little to no highlights in the pass game.
I beleive the sky is the limit for Jaxon. If he has an offer to go to the BIG 10 then I think he could be developed and coached up extremely well. His physical traits are impossible to coach, while other great factors like vision are extremely difficult to coach. He’s got that IT factor, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he’s able to develop in college.
