    I've seen him play and he can get open and he can catch the ball too. I think he deserves this scholarship. He being a legacy is also nice...

    At 6'3" 218, he has a really nice frame for a WR.

    Nice to see another Jackson wearing 22. I remember talking to Willie Jr -- he wore it the year after Emmitt left. I asked him if there was pressure (thinking about Emmitt), and he said something like it was his dad's number, so yeah.

    Yeah it didn’t make sense even at the time. I went to that game and I saw him there chatting with fans and signing stuff way after the game was over. He might have even been the last one out

    I have wondered about that. He had pretty good stats in high school.

    Kahleil Jackson is getting better and better. Good call by Napier to get him more involved in our passing game. That catch on a bomb by Mertz to around the 10 yard line was a thing on beauty. Jackson caught the ball inverted flying though the air.

    I wish someone would post a pic of that catch.

    The catch on the sideline against Tennessee where he had his toes locked into the turf while leaning out of bounds was a thing of beauty as well.

    Yeah, he has some crazy good receiver skills that we will see plenty more of as he gets the ball more.
