Jackson has two standing out
Lamar Jackson is one of the hottest prospects in the West and this past weekend he was in Southern California for a 7on7 tournament.
That allowed the Elk Grove (Calif.) Franklin defensive back to stop by UCLA's spring practice and talk with the coaches. The Bruins are right in the thick of things in his recruitment because he likes defensive backs coach Demetrice Martin so much.

"It was a good experience," Jackson said. "Everything was good down there.
"I watched everything. I watched one-on-ones and I watched the individual sessions. I got to talk to coach (Martin) and coach Mora a little bit. They were just saying to enjoy it."
Jackson, who was one of the top performers at the Rivals Camp Series in Las Vegas earlier this spring, said USC and UCLA stand out the most in his recruitment right now.
The 6-foot-3, 207-pound prospect talks the most with those two coaching staffs and UCLA looks so strong because he really likes Martin, who would be coaching him in the Bruins' secondary if he ends up in Westwood.
"They're up there," Jackson said. "I like coach (Martin) a lot.
"I'm going to break it down soon. I like the two Southern California schools. They're standing out a lot - SC and UCLA. I have the most communication with them."
On Tuesday, the Northern California prospect landed offers from Arizona, San Diego State and Sacramento State.
Alabama stopped by his school earlier this week and Oregon is also getting more involved in his recruitment.
