Austin Peay DB with Elite Change of Direction and Instincts
Jackson is a versatile defensive back who stands out for his exceptional change of direction (7/10 rating) and football instincts (6/10), making him a playmaker in coverage. The Austin Peay elder statesman logged 13 tackles across 10 contests in 2016, including a season-high six solo stops in the Troy opener. His reactive quickness and recovery speed (both 6/10) suggest he can stick with receivers and diagnose plays quickly—ideal traits for a ball-hawking DB. While tackling (4/10) isn't his forte, his instincts and lateral agility make him a solid fit for teams valuing coverage skills and secondary depth.
