Parish Jackson Parish Jackson 6'3" | 330 lbs | OL/DL Robbinsdale Cooper | 2027 State MN was another standout blocker playing on a struggling offensive unit from the 5A conference last season. Jackson is one of the biggest Left Tackles in the conference, and his prowess on the line generated success even against double-teams. Jackson is most dangerous moving down the field for a block, and he plays hard through the whistle, so for some, it may be best to just get out of Jackson’s way when he breaks into the second level. Jackson shows solid footwork in pass reps and is able to maintain a wide, but steady base when kicking out. Jackson has potential breaking through at either Tackle or Guard at the next level as one of the most well-rounded blockers in Minnesota right now.

Jackson was an impact player on both sides of the ball. A starter on both offense and defense, Jackson was arguably the most successful Cooper lineman over the course of the night. Not only did he cause a fumble in the first half, but he was plugging up run lanes on the interior frequently. On offense, he played a key role in stifling what is a dangerous rotation of St. Francis edge rushers. On run plays, there were a bunch of times where I saw him burying defenders in the dirt, or he would put them on skates and run them to the top of the field. Jackson is definitely a name to know over the next two seasons.
