Ruben Jackson brings big-play juice to Oregon State’s WR room
Jackson has shown **explosive efficiency** as a receiver, with 455 yards and 2 touchdowns on 27 catches, plus a strong 16.9 yards per reception that points to real downfield threat value. He fits best as a **vertical, playmaking weapon** rather than a volume target, which matters if a team wants someone who can stretch defenses and flip field position quickly. The main question is role fit: his profile suggests more upside in a system that creates chunk plays than one built on high-catch, possession-style production.
