Ja’Keem Jackson

School: Osceola

Hometown: Kissimmee, FL.

Height: 6-1

Weight: 180

Position: defensive back

247 Ranking: 4-star

Recruited by: Corey Raymond/Patrick Toney

Enrollment date: January of 2023

Notable: Jackson had a lot of teams after him down the stretch but stayed solid with the Gators despite the late pushes from teams. Miami pushed hard for Jackson and tried to get him to visit but a visit to Gainesville in December shut down any chance he would visit Coral Gables.

Quotable: “They were just showing me different ways they could use me on the defense,” Jackson said on his meetings with the staff. “Showing me different techniques and all of that. They showed me how I would benefit from the defense at corner.”
