Some mock drafts projected Jackson as a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. once ranked Jackson as his top defensive end prospect after he recorded 3.5 sacks at Alabama on Oct. 14.
Jackson, a former transfer from LSU, gained enough weight and muscle to be listed at 6-foot-7, 281 pounds on the official roster this season. As a junior in 2023, he established career highs of 44 total tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks.
Edge rushers are incredibly valuable, and Jackson is the best in his position. Arkansas would probably be unable to find a stronger defensive end via the transfer portal if they tried.
