| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| An incredibly nimble athlete placed in a 6-foot-5, 315-pound frame. Despite his length, still stays low out of his stance and is extremely powerful at the point of first contact. Anchors the line and uses his arm length well. | Could be limited to being a two-down player at the next level because of size and conditioning elements. Looked worn down at times, especially late in games. Struggles to get off blocks by long-armed offensive linemen. |
OVERVIEW: It's impossible to miss Jackson. From the moment he got off the bus to when he ran back into the locker room, he was one of the most imposing figures in college football. His production backed it up as well with back-to-back All-ACC honorable mentions across two full seasons at Florida State. Jackson began his career at Maryland and Miami for a year each before the move to Tallahassee. He was initially thought to be a top prospect in last year's draft class, too, but withdrew his name to return to the Seminoles for "unfinished business."
