Antione Jackson

A true South Florida defensive back that has been playing press-man coverage since he was a youngster. Measured in at roughly 6-foot, 175 pounds summer before junior season. Has some additional length in the arms with a wingspan that stretches just under 76 inches. Hasn’t tested in a few years, but has looked explosive on Friday nights and then again on the camp circuit. High football IQ can cause plenty of issues for opposing quarterbacks as he’s quick to jump routes and take away throwing windows. Ball skills are some of the best we have seen to date in the Sunshine State for the 2024 cycle as he’s competitive in the air and can go up and get a ball. Has been deployed primarily as an outside cornerback at the high school level and had plenty of success picking off four passes as a sophomore. Could probably stick at corner, but ceiling might ultimately be highest as a field safety given how he reacts to what’s going on in front of him and physical play style. Should be viewed as a future Power Five starer and possible all-conference type of player based upon everything we know so far.
