Fordham freshman DL Ezekiel Jackson brings size, upside, and a clean developmental profile
Ezekiel Jackson enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-2, 270-pound freshman defensive lineman for Fordham with active status and no available game-log or stat output yet, so the appeal is projection rather than production[1][2]. What makes him interesting is the frame: he already has college-ready mass for the Patriot League, and at this stage he looks like a developmental interior piece who could help if he adds polish, leverage, and consistent snap-to-snap violence. For a team, that means upside and moldability over proven résumé—exactly the kind of sleeper lineman worth monitoring[1][2].
