Stanley Jackson Jr. is a physical depth back with rising camp momentum at Ohio State
In 2026, Stanley Jackson Jr. remains a developmental Ohio State running back rather than a proven game-day producer, but his profile is intriguing: a 5-foot-11, 210-pound former walk-on from Westerville North who has earned a black stripe removal in preseason camp, signaling real progress and buy-in. He has yet to appear in a game through his first two seasons in Columbus, so the value here is in his physicality, program pedigree, and upward trajectory rather than box-score production. If you want a tough, local, coachable back with upside and special-teams potential, he fits the mold.
