James Jackson, Grand Ledge, Michigan (6' 0", 175 lbs, 4.31 forty);
Ohio State (offered) leads. Jackson is the prototypical "multi-purpose" player, as he logged time at quarterback, running back (40 carries, 337 yards), wide receiver (31 receptions, 430 yards, 2 touchdowns), and defensive back (2 interceptions) last season. In college, James projects as a wide receiver, where his game-breaking speed (10.56 seconds in the 100-meter dash) will create nightmares for opposing secondaries. Jackson has several offers from top programs around the country (Michigan, Michigan State, Florida, Alabama, Oregon, UCLA to name a few),
but Ohio State (visits for Junior Day, spring practice, Spring Game, summer camp)
appears to be his current leader.
Based on what?
Haven't seen an article where James has said that, even remotely (apologies if there is an article/quote). Not saying he won't go to
OSU, just trying to figure out the rationale.
