A University of Tennessee football recruiting target has been offered by another Southeastern Conference school.
Oak Ridge High School junior Kendall Jackson has received an offer from Missouri.
Jackson, a running back in the 2022 recruiting class, has received multiple NCAA Division I scholarship offers since April.
He and the Wildcats are currently in the midst of a TSSAA Class 5A state playoff run.
Jackson missed time due to an injury earlier this season, but helped lead Oak Ridge to an upset win over West High School in Knoxville, 31-28, at Bill Wilson Field Friday night.
The Wildcats have won eight consecutive games, and in most of those victories, Jackson has rushed for at least 100 yards and scored at least one touchdown.
Against the Rebels, however, Jackson had just 36 yards on 10 carries. The Wildcats were able to avenge its early-season Region 3-5A loss to the Rebels, the last team to beat Oak Ridge in 2020.
Jackson also has offers from Tennessee, Tulane, Duke, Eastern Kentucky and Arizona.
I am very blessed to receive an offer from The University of Missouri🟡⚫️@TNGridironScout @Bigwill46798139 @CoachBurum74 pic.twitter.com/uUhHnotJlD
