Notable:  Jackson was one of the most sought after linebackers in the country and he originally committed to USC but the Gators continued to recruit him and flipped him after he visited Gainesville for the Ole Miss game. Jackson has combined for over 400 tackles in his high school career and he also played some receiver in high school.

Quotable: “They say that I can fit in pretty well,” Jackson said on how he fits into the defense. “I can play all three downs and fit in there. Coach Roberts is saying I can play both Mike and Will, all three downs.”
