Jayden Tate Jayden Tate 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB/EDGE Jackson | 2026 State AL is another dominant OLB/DE on this Jackson defense who put up an impressive junior season last fall, making huge plays all year long.

Jayden Tate Jayden Tate 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB/EDGE Jackson | 2026 State AL is an explosive pass rusher for Jackson who makes life so difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Tate is quick off the snap, has the power to put OTs on their heels, and has a high motor he uses to bring the heat every passing down- he works tirelessly to take down quarterbacks, sometimes fighting off multiple blockers on a single play to get the job done.

I’m just as impressed with Tate’s ability to make plays against the run, he has violent hands he uses to throw off OL to make his way to the ball carrier for big stops.

Tate made some huge plays for Jackson’s defense last fall, ending the year with 82 total tackles, 23 QB hurries, 12 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles.

Tate has some impressive tape from last season you can check out below, watch out for him this fall, he’s got a big year ahead of him.
