"I have scholarship offers from Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Maryland. I am hearing from just about everyone in the ACC. Marshall ,Wake Forest, and NC State are recruiting me pretty hard," said the 5-foot-8, 190-pound corner who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.

Does the talented defensive back have a favorite?
"I really don't have a favorite at this point. I am trying to see as much as I can about each school before making a decision. I went to both Virginia and Virginia Tech's spring games and I hope to visit Maryland soon."
What does Jackson look for in a school?
"Academics come first for me. I then look at the gameday atmosphere and overall campus life. Basically, I just want to feel comfortable wherever I decide to go."
Jackson has been busy on the field over the past two seasons intercepting 17 passes. The shutdown corner plans on being busy this summer visiting campuses and camps.
"I would like to make my decision in the fall. To do that, I want to see as much as possible. I will be attending camps at Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, NC State, and Wake Forest this summer. I figure I can get better and learn more about each school at the same time."
Jackson currently maintains a 2.5 GPA.
