OHIO STATE LEGACY JACKSON WILEY SAYS IT “WOULD MEAN A LOT” TO FOLLOW IN HIS FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS AND PLAY FOR THE BUCKEYES ONE DAY
“His knowledge of the game,” Michael told Eleven Warriors regarding where he believes his son has grown the most over the past few years. “I think he’s starting to slow it down, but I believe he improved on using his quickness. Because he’s a smooth runner, but he had to learn how to explode. He’s figured out to use his gifts. He’s got good hands but he’s still got work to do. He is only 15 years old, played varsity at 14 last year and he won’t be 16 until April. So I’ve noticed that he’s becoming more of a football player. When he makes mistakes, he knows the mistakes he’s made and tries to correct them.”
To this point, Jackson has picked up one Division I offer from Kentucky.
“It’s great for him as far as his confidence goes, or whatnot,” Michael said of Jackson earning his first offer. “But recruitment doesn’t really start until you start eliminating teams, and I’ve been telling him this. So all this stuff is for fun right now, he has to worry about getting better each and every week and every year. That’s his main concern.”
Jackson has received interest from other schools including Cincinnati, Tennessee and Ohio State. The Wiley family visited Ohio Stadium on Oct. 22 for the Buckeyes’ game against Iowa, and while Jackson had attended Buckeye games growing up, that was his first time at The Shoe as a recruit.
