varsity game. With 14 FBS offers, expect him to see the field a lot
more during his sophomore season. He throws a football as good as any
quarterback in the country.

makes him one of the most dangerous red zone threats in the nation.
Will be one of the best offensive lineman in California even as a sophomore.

the same potential and talent as former Atascocita great Kenyon Green.
Some notable offers already include Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas and

play him. He already has 21 offers and will be an impact player for a
national contender in 2019.

doesn't lie ... he is one of the most disruptive players in the country.

time.

matter where he lined up. Had nearly 700
yards rushing and 10 touchdowns to go with 78 tackles, 18 tackles for

One
of the most versatile players from the Class of 2022. Expect him to
line up everywhere during his sophomore season whether it is at
linebacker, safety or at wide receiver.
Mater Dei has produced some big-time defensive backs and Jackson has a chance to be the best of the bunch.
The
offers are piling up for one of the top defensive backs from New
Jersey. Michigan, Florida, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Texas
