compact, physical Central Arkansas back with real power upside
In the 2025 season, Elijah Jackson gave Central Arkansas a small but telling sample: 11 carries for 37 yards, with a 3.4 yards-per-carry average and no touchdowns, while the 2026 roster lists him as a redshirt freshman at 6'0", 230 pounds[9][12]. His calling card is size — he looks built for inside runs, short-yardage work, and finishing through contact — which is why his fit depends on whether a team wants a bruiser who can wear down defenses rather than a flashy space player[6][12].
