Unfortunately, Tanner Jackson Tanner Jackson 6'2" | 260 lbs | OL/DL Indianola | 2027 State IA ‘s junior campaign was limited by injury, ending his season after just 2 games. The centerpiece of the Indians’ O-line proven to be tenacious and perfectly setting the tone, and his presence was sorely missed on their offense in his absence. Jackson is able to pick up on his reads quickly, constantly scanning and adjusting well to the defense’s alignment, and proves effective in jamming defenders at the line, maintaining a steady base, and keeping his balance against more agile defenders. If Jackson can stay healthy through the entire 2026 season, Indianola’s offense will benefit all the better.

Jackson got lost in the shuffle this year as far as raising his stock as a college prospect. That’s because he suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2 and didn’t have a chance to flash his upside. When he was in the action, he made a difference, as we can see when watching early-season highlights. Jackson is a natural at center, effective at handling all of the position’s responsibilities. It’s a smooth operation starting with an accurate shot-gun snap. Jackson explodes off of it and gets into the chest of the defender. He shows a good bend and power. His frame has room to fill out. Jackson should get to college camps this summer after not being able to get much film together this season.
