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.
Update 04/23 - James attended the Spring Game with his parents, and left Columbus with Ohio State as his leader. With a new coaching staff and a much different environment, Michigan (offered, childhood favorite) has some ground to make up.
Update 04/29 - James visited UCLA for the Bruins' spring game, and came away very impressed (mostly with the amenities of Southern California, but that's always part of the equation). Jackson had expected to issue a commitment this spring (presumably to Ohio State), but the trip out west has him thinking about official visits. Ohio State is still at the top of the list, but UCLA is a major player, and Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, and Tennessee are still in the picture.
