compact, versatile Iowa State RB with proven production and real juice
In the 2024 season, Jaylon Jackson posted 373 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns in 6 games, added 41 receiving yards and a score, and chipped in on returns for Iowa State[12][11]. His calling card is burst in a small frame—5'7", 180 pounds—which gives him quickness, balance, and sneaky value as a dual-threat back[11][15]. The bigger story: he brings veteran mileage from stops at Lamar, Eastern Michigan, and Iowa State, with 1,891 career rushing yards and 8 rushing TDs, but there was also an off-field suspension issue that affected availability, so the fit depends on comfort with that risk[11][6].
