F. W. Buchholz defensive lineman [autotag]Kendall Jackson[/autotag] is no stranger to the University of Florida, but the Gainesville native’s 13th trip to the Swamp proved to be the most impactful as he enjoyed the spoils of an official visit over the weekend.
Memphis transfer Cam’Ron Jackson hosted him, according to Brandon Carroll of All Gators. It was the family nature of everyone involved with the program that stuck out the most to (Kendall) Jackson. If visiting over a dozen times didn’t indicate it, Florida is the team to beat for him moving forward.
“It’s the top school. Definitely the top school,” Jackson said to All Gators. “Being able to hang out with the current UF players was one of the highlights. Just getting to see the team if you were to commit there, the teammates you’d be around and how they act.”
At 6-foot-4-inches tall and 255 pounds, Jackson still moves well, which is one of the main reasons Billy Napier and Co. are so interested in him. He should work with the outside linebackers and position coach Mike Peterson, who is one of the coaches he’s developed a strong relationship with already.
Jackson is a four-star recruit on the On3 industry ranking, which uses a weighted average of all four major services. He comes in at No. 365 overall in the class of 2024 and No. 33 among defensive linemen.
