Listed at 6-foot0-1 and 190 pounds, Jackson, who carries a nickname in honor of a legendary athlete, attends Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School in Cleveland. Jackson is a consensus four-star player and rated as one of the top five running backs in Ohio by every major national recruiting outlet.
While Jackson is still considering 12 schools, he did significantly narrow down his list in terms of how many offers he’s received.
Texas A&M, Cincinnati, Florida, Maryland, Miami (FL), Michigan State and Notre Dame are some of the other programs who have offered Jackson.
