4-star OLB from Alabama includes UGA in top-10

4-star OLB Ian Jackson from Alabama included Georgia football in his top-ten schools.

On Thursday, 4-star outside linebacker Ian Jackson released his top-ten schools.

In no specific order, Nebraska, Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida State, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Louisville and Texas A&M were the schools that he announced as his finalists.

From Prattville, Alabama, Jackson ranks as the nation’s No. 309 overall player, No. 25 ranked OLB and the 10th ranked player in the state.

Kirby Smart knows he has his work cut-out for him with both home-state universities Alabama and Auburn being listed in his most recent post.

Prattville, which is smack-dab in the middle of Alabama, is only a one hour drive to Auburn and a 90 minute commute to Tuscaloosa. In comparison to Athens, it’s a 3.5 hour drive.

During his junior season for Prattville, Jackson tallied 91 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and six sacks.
