Assessing the talent: Good feet. Reminds me very much of a Craig “Ironhead” Heyward player. Can juke a little, sidestep and then plough through the line. He’s pretty fast and has soft hands and good athleticism for a guy this big. Perfect fullback for the West Coast offense.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 30% He has been a Virginia commit for over a month now. But he has decided to take an official visit to Nebraska. He has only one visit set at this time, to NU. He is attending the same high school as Joe Dailey did. We could pull the trick if he does follow through on the trip.

Along with Bailey, Jackson is the only other FB recruit being targeted by Nebraska.

As noted in another thread, Jackson made a surprise visit to Lincoln this week. He was teammates with Joe Daily in Jersey. He has allready committed to Virginia, but says he'll need to consider the Huskers now.

Some members of the Husker coaching staff will make an in home visit to him later this week.
