Texas took another recruiting blow on Thursday with wide receiver Ketron Jackson committing to Arkansas. A four-star wide receiver, Jackson was an in-state miss for wide receivers coach Andre Coleman.
Coming out of Royse City, Texas, Jackson is seen as a longed framed receiver with incredible hands. Listed at 6 feet, 2 inches and 186 pounds, his speed on the outside would have caused problems for Big 12 defenders.
Instead, Jackson will be heading to Fayetteville with newly hired head coach Sam Pittman. Former Baylor offensive coordinator Kendal Briles was one of Jackson’s main recruiters.
Ranked the No. 150 player in the country, Jackson is Arkansas’ highest-rated commit in its 2021 class. The Razorbacks rank No. 8 in SEC recruiting according to 247Sports.
Jackson is also the No. 25 player in the state of Texas and the No. 26 wide receiver in the class.
The Longhorns’ 2021 class contains one wide receiver. Casey Cain, a three-star out of New Orleans, Louisiana, has been committed to Texas since May.

Now, if Texas wants to add another wide receiver to its class, J.J. Henry will be the primary target. Another in-state product, Henry is a four-star from McKinney.
