6'4"/250 future DT is a 3-star (.8893) out of Gainesville Bucholz. He is young for his class so an expert says he will grow into a DT and play inside: Kendall Jackson's Crystal Ball Predictions (247sports.com) Kendall Jackson, F. W. Buchholz, Defensive Line (247sports.com) The latest CB is from an Ole Miss insider. Jackson has 3 CBs to UF from 247 Sports. Jackson's top 4 consists of Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, and Miami. He is viewed as a multi-year starter in a P5 program. Jackson has family ties to UF. Aubrey Hill who played WR for UF from 91-94 is his uncle.
I like this young man and think he has a great future! Underranked I think, I suspect he gets to a 4 star this fall.
The expert who made the comment didn't give Jackson's age other than to say he is young for the 24 class. If that is the case, he could easily come to UF at 270-275 after his senior year. I can visualize Jackson growing into a 3-technique DT around 300 after a year in UF strength and conditioning.
Saw that but not a high confidence pick and the accuracy % isn't the greatest. Still, hope he picks the good guys!
I struggled with the idea that he would not be in the class. Gotta find a way for the local kid. However ... what does this mean for LJ McCray? Hoping we have room for both.
Ray McDonald came into UF at 250 and left at 300 to the 49ers. Kendall Jackson is an inch taller and is already 250 as a rising senior. He'll get his 4th star with a good senior season.
