Gained 20 lbs. over the last year, and is a lot closer to 250 lbs. He is a powerful young edge defender despite being a tad shorter. The weight gain is certainly promising. His energy and motor is even more. Jackson flows to the football fast, he takes on blockers with aggression and hits the ball carrier with authority. He has great intensity, and looking at some early junior film it looks like he is having his way at the LOS. Jackson has been playing since his freshman year, there is a lot of experience under his belt now. He is even playing some TE this year, where he looks impressive running in the open field. Top end speed is better than anticipated even. He can continue to work on lateral quickness for sure, he does seem to get stuck on read options plays, and that’s mostly just not being a ble to change directions well enough. There is a strong chance that he continues to add weight here, and could eventually end up at DT.
