Thune's Take: Jackson has been committed to Oklahoma longer than any of the Sooners’ signees, as he verbally pledged back in April 2019. He’s a relatively slight receiver with plenty of room to bulk up in Bennie Wylie’s strength program. He’s a viable deep threat, but has room for growth in his route-running ability at the intermediate level. He’ll need to refine his skills under Dennis Simmons before he’s ready to contribute in the Sooners’ loaded arsenal of pass-catchers, so don’t expect him to make a Day 1 impact like Marvin Mims did. But in the long term, Jackson has the potential to be a 1,000-yard receiver in Oklahoma’s system.
