Less than two weeks later, Jackson was named MVP of the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Classic for his dominating role in a come from behind victory.

Finally, the state’s top recruit introduced himself on the national stage during Saturday’s All-American Bowl, logging a sack and tackle for loss in the West Team’s 33-20 triumph.

Jackson says it is about time the Magnolia State got its due on the recruiting trail. “We show them what Mississippi is about. We’ve got some dogs here, but the platform isn’t like other states got. I wouldn’t say we’ve got the media attention like some other states got. We have talent here, like it’s a whole bunch of it. It just needs to get out. There’s a bunch of talented kids in this state, and just nobody knows about it.”

Jackson is still considering Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M, having just received his 31^st division I offer from Oregon earlier today.
