Kenyon Jackson has a chance to be one of the top 2019 WRs in the South. I will see him quite a bit over the next 6 months.
I saw him practice this spring. I will see him again in the next few weeks, then I will see him play a game in August.
His offers are all off potential. He played very little varsity football last season. He finished with seven receptions and six of those went for touchdowns. His team (Grayson) won the state title.
STRENGTHS
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
RIVALS TAKE
It is all about upside here and I feel he has a high ceiling. Jackson has the frame college coaches covet at wide receiver these days. He is still thin, but he will add weight and strength over time. This is the year he has a chance to break out as a prospect. He is someone who jumps out immediately when you see him with his size, length and ability to go make a play on the ball. He has to expand his route tree, he has to get better getting in/out of his cuts and he can improve his overall game speed. He is still learning, but there is a lot to like. Raw talent is there and he is a solid receiver of the ball. Big hands and he can snatch it out of the air. I want to see him more and against top guys in games, but he is a guy I feel has a real chance to end up in the 2019 Rivals 250. I may know that sooner rather than later, but I at least want to see him another time or two before putting too many stars in him -- it's still early with his class. LSU has to be excited here with what they potentially have in Jackson.
***** I hope to be able to post a photo gallery featuring Jackson Wednesday, so be on the lookout for that.
This is from my phone, so I apologize for any typos.
