Jackson caught my eye immediately. He’s not the biggest from a weight standpoint, but he’s built well and has an extremely long body.
Jackson is a freak with bad intentions in the trenches. He’s physical, has a high motor, a nice pass-rush and solid footwork. He’s good against the run, but one of the best in Tennessee at sacking the quarterback. The CCA sophomore is already top 10 in the state for sacks.

had opposing offenses singing the blues all season long. As a 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds stand up defensive end, he assaulted offensive tackles at will this past season. Built like a linebacker and playing with running back speed, Jackson was parallel with the shoulder of offensive linemen before they were event out of their stance in some egregious examples of his speed. Also a field-stretching tight end on offense, he played with speed and relentless pursuit on every play. His highlights include several plays where he chased down ball carriers going away from him on designed outside runs–in the backfield. I wouldn’t rule out a full-time change to outside linebacker for Jackson over the next four years.
