SI All-American Candidate Jackson Harmon Highlights and Evaluation

Jackson Harmon is a quarterback and wide receiver prospect from South Anchorage High School in Anchorage, Alaska. Harmon is an SI All-American candidate.

Prospect: Jackson Harmon 

Status: SI All-American candidate 

Vitals: 6-foot-2, 185 pounds 

Position: Quarterback 

School: Anchorage (Alaska) South Anchorage 

Projected Position: Wide Receiver

Frame: Good height on the young man with decent weight and room for some additional lean muscle. 

Athleticism: Tall runner with decent shake and bake and straight-line speed that jumps off the film. Active feet in the pocket look to me like he’ll be fully capable of a complete route tree. He might be the best pure athlete in the state of Alaska. 

Instincts: Not afraid of contact, often seeking it out, which I doubt his coaches taught him. Plays safety with an opportunistic mindset, as your starting quarterback should. 

Polish: Unrefined as a wide receiver, but refined as an athlete. Good vision as a ball carrier, and some sweet feet to go along with that. Will need to work hard to develop some go-to moves to beat the press, but he should be smooth reading zone coverages and finding soft spots. 

Bottom Line: The Alaskan quarterback Jackson Harmon will likely look to the receiving room for a chance to find himself on a roster at the next level. He’s a quick and twitchy runner with a knack for keeping defenders off him but can get physical when he wants too.
