Jackson Daily brings SEC depth, size, and a high-upside football background to Missouri
Jackson Daily, a redshirt sophomore linebacker for Missouri in the 2026 season, is a 6-1, 234-pound former quarterback who brings unusual athletic context and developmental upside rather than a long stat sheet. Missouri lists him as a returning linebacker after he did not see game action in 2024, so the appeal is projection, physicality, and versatility more than production right now. He fits best as a tough, blue-collar depth piece with upside if his transition to linebacker keeps accelerating; in other words, he’s the kind of player coaches love to stash and grow.
