With the end of the high school football season drawing closer, coaches nationwide are making their final pushes for some of the country’s top prospects. Rankings are also being rewritten, which has helped some Longhorns recruits, including Lance Jackson. In On3’s updated rankings, released Monday, Jackson saw his stock rise.
The Texas native was listed as the eighth-best five-star recruit. Due to his size and strength, Jackson has been a human highlight reel over the last few years. During his time at Pleasant Grove High School, the talented edge rusher showed good quickness.
While Jackson could outgrow his current position, he has the skills to thrive regardless of the role he is asked to play. That is something that On3 emphasized in its list.

“Ultimately, he may outgrow the EDGE position given his current size, but would be one of the more athletic defensive linemen in the class as well,” said On3 National Scout Cody Bellaire.
Although his collegiate debut is still months away, many Austin are excited about how Jackson will help improve the defense. They have been one of the better units in the nation this year and should continue to frustrate offensive coordinators next year with Jackson in the lineup.
On Monday, On3 showed why the Longhorns’ future with Jackson in the mix is bright.
