Senior DB for West Virginia with All-American Prep Pedigree and High-Intensity Coverage Skills
Akeem Jackson, a 6-0, 190-lb senior defensive back for the West Virginia Mountaineers, stands out not just for his stats but for his elite prep pedigree—he was named an All-American by SuperPrep and PrepStar as a high school running back who rushed for over 700 yards, showcasing rare speed and ball-handling instincts now translated to coverage. As a DB, he brings intense, physical play with a senior-level maturity and New Jersey grit, rarely missing a tackle and displaying the intensity of a player who treats every snap like a championship. While his 2025 solo tackles (2) and interceptions (0) reflect limited game action, his differentiator is his versatility, intensity, and the confidence of a former offensive standout who reads routes like a runner reads gaps. He’s a high-fit addition for teams needing a smart, physical DB with coverage speed and the personality to elevate a defense’s intensity.
