Long, twitchy redshirt freshman with big-play upside in Troy’s WR room
In 2026, Jah'Marren Jackson is a 6-foot-5, 201-pound sophomore receiver at Troy who still has no official game stats, but his profile screams upside: he’s a rare height-and-length target who was a three-star recruit and No. 42 player in Alabama out of McKenzie HS, and Troy has already listed him as a redshirt freshman/sophomore on the roster[1][2][10]. He flashed in Troy’s 2026 spring game with multiple touchdown catches, suggesting he can threaten the red zone and separate enough to matter downfield[13]. The appeal is obvious: if you want a developmental boundary WR with size, catch radius, and room to grow, he’s worth a long look[1][13].
