📝 UPDATE! BAMA BOUND! Vernon Jackson: 6-2, 240-lbs hailing from Boling, Texas set to announce 9/15:

"I have a top three going in," Jackson says. "It's TCU, Alabama and (Texas) A&M."

He's currently playing quarterback, and has played some of defense last season. At the collegiate level there are some who are thinking he's fitting the H-back role while others have him moving to the linebacking corps.

A quote from Rodney Orr of TiderInsider:

Most services have had Jackson rated a three-star. Look for his star rating to soar over the course of the season. Jackson is a five-star talent.

I am expecting him to choose Bama today...he had one hell of a camp this summer (and you guys know how much I've been pointing towards camps and subsequent offers this year.)

Here's hoping that he Rolls With The TIDE!

Hopefully, it will be Bama. On a side note, I just can not see how anyone would sign with what is a dumpster fire at a.m.

What's your thoughts Terry in terms of where he fits in the class? Looks like 247 has him coming to Bama

Are you talking about where he ends up or what position he would likely start when he arrived on campus? If it's the latter, on defense. He spent the majority of this time with Tosh when he was camping in Tuscaloosa.

FWIW, he announced Bama a few minutes ago.

Def meant position. DE or OLB?

All depends on S&C is my best guess on that. He's at 240 now...how much weight can he carry? I'm thinking LB rather than DE.

Roll Tide!

Turn on his tape and he definitely has that "Wow factor!"

Yeah, Big Boy can really move. Has some surprising breakaway speed. Could see him at DE/TE wherever he wants to play. Love that he's played QB too, just makes kids think the game. Good pickup RTR

 

[EasyTider]

Will certainly get the Bama bump :dance:

Seriously tho, have seen more than 1 report that says he has 5* talent but the fact that he isn't playing position he'll likely play in college has kept ranking down.

That's a great prospect. Welcome aboard.
