Had two interceptions from his cornerback spot on defense. Outstanding performer in track as well and won the state title in the 100m dash as a sophomore.

By A. Trieu. Jackson's coach talks about the past season and his star player. Jackson has offers from Michigan and Michigan State already, and is hearing from many other schools.

Seemed last year early the theme was big 6'5'' receivers were all over the board...This year it is the 5''10''-6' foot guys with top end speed...
Is he more of a track kid playing football (a la Kyle Jefferson)... or a football player who just happens to be REALLY fast (a la Teddy Ginn)?

How good of a chance do we have of pulling him out of michigan. I know the staff really wants him but does he have interest in us or is he considered a michigan kid. I heard that alabama offered so his speed must be real if an sec school would offer a big ten kid. Lol just goes to show we have speed to burn in the midwest as well. 100 meters champ as a sophmore very impressive.:oh::io:

I love super athletes in college football. He sounds like the real deal! This kid wouldn't have any trouble stretching the field....something we've kindda lacked over the last year.

I just hope that he isn't big time into the tradition at either scUM or MSU. In that case he's gonna be a bit difficult to recruit!

Is their tradition more impressive than OSU's??? Don't bother answering... I already know the answer.

huh? That's not the point....my question is more on the lines of has he grown up being a big scUM or MSU supporter or not, and that may play a big part in his decision.

Michigan = Ohio State on tradition, but not recent success.

Michigan State <<<<< Ohio State in all phases.

That said, how in the world does a defense stop Pryor, Saine, Thomas, Fields, Jackson, Stoneburner, Posey, etc? Yeah, the Big10 has no speed... especially at Slowhio State... LOL :rofl:
