Kenyatta Jackson Jr. is emerging as Ohio State’s veteran edge enforcer
In the 2025 season, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. finished second on Ohio State with 11.0 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks, then opened 2026 with three tackles against Ball State while earning a captain’s role and preseason national watch-list buzz[1][8][13]. At 6-foot-6 and 263 pounds, he brings NFL-ish length, steady power, and the kind of disruptive pass-rush upside that can wreck game plans—not just fill a stat sheet[1][9]. The fit? Very good for a team needing an experienced, high-motor DE who can set the tone and win on the edge[10][13].
