Former multi-sport athlete

With the league as a whole moving to roster faster corners, Jackson’s speed (4.47 40-yard dash time) fits with that mold. In high school, Jackson was a multi-sport athlete thanks to that speed.

Not only was he a Florida 2A all-State wide receiver, but he also ran track. Jackson was a two-time Florida state high school track champion in the 110-meter hurdles and finished as a runner-up in the 300-meter hurdles.
