Jackson Cowgill brings NFL-sized mass and high-upside power to USD’s defensive front
A 6-foot-4, 305-pound defensive lineman, Jackson Cowgill arrives at South Dakota as a former three-star Colorado standout with legit length, gap-control potential, and the kind of frame that can wreck run fits when he plays with leverage. In his final high school season, he posted 40 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks, and he was ranked among Colorado’s top prospects, which hints at a disruptive ceiling rather than just a space-eater profile. For a team needing size, toughness, and developmental upside up front, he’s absolutely a name to watch.
