Biography:
Plays tight end in high school, but will be one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the south. Huge frame with long arms, moves extremely well with his tight end background. Unlimited potential as a college lineman.

Also a standout basketball player for the Georgia Hawks, and he might have a future in both sports in college. Averaged 18 ppg/14 rpg/6 apg/4 bpg.
"I got great hands and pretty quick feet. I'm a good receiver and use a good balance of quickness and power. I want to improve my agility and I got to get more leg strength. That would really help my explosiveness and leverage."

Insiders is reporting that he has been offered by tOSU

In that last Insiders update Jackson says if he plays football and not basketball he will go to Georgia, hands down. I'd rather have Taz anyway

Jackson's coach reiterates that Charles does not want to play football in college. I'm gonna move this thread to the basketball forum.

He does mention Ohio State is one of the schools scheduled to do an in home visit. :osu:
