Alabama school profile

Breakdown: Former five-star recruit and high school track star who spent two seasons at USC and two more at Alabama but never scratched the ceiling of his potential. Good length, size profile. Limited production on the ball (14 PDs, 2 INTs in 46 games) and had a disappointing senior season, dealing with an injury and a midseason benching. Played better late in 2025. Speed shows up on tape. Played almost exclusively on the perimeter. Three-year starter at USC/Alabama, but limited special teams experience.

Scouting reports

Dane Brugler’s scouting report: "A two-year starter at Alabama (and three-year starter overall), Jackson played on the perimeter in defensive coordinator Kane Wommack’s scheme (press bail, off coverage). A top-five national recruit out of high school, his career trajectory took a turn as he rehabbed a knee injury, which delayed his development at both USC and Alabama. He returned to Tuscaloosa for his senior year to boost his draft stock, but his snaps and production declined from his junior year. Jackson flashes the linear speed that made him a record-setting sprinter in high school. However, his cover instincts and understanding of the nuances of his position aren’t on the same level. He is late to transition from his backpedal and can get turned around with his match movements. He needs to do a better job tracking the quarterback through the route and play stronger through the catch (only one pass breakup in 2025). Overall, Jackson is a battle-tested size-speed athlete, but his inconsistent eye discipline and short-area movements held him back on his college tape. Improvements in those areas — and a role on special teams — can get him on an NFL roster."Lance Zierlein's scouting report: "Jackson is a smooth athlete with good size and elite track speed. In totality, the play and production have failed to match the traits dating back to his days at USC (2022-2023), but his 2024 tape gives evaluators the best look at his ceiling. He can disrupt from press but can be a step slow to transition in-phase from man. Tampa 2 and deep-zone coverages suit him best. Scheme won’t matter as much as consistency and confidence for Jackson, though."
