Kylin Jackson

Good height and looks long on tape. Lean, athletic build that will foster more bulk in college. Instinctive center field-type at the back end who covers chunks of territory in the passing game. Awareness is obvious, as is functional athleticism. Has a nose for the ball. Redirects fairly well relative to frame length, allowing him to drive on throws. Frame should aid in catch-point disruption. Above average ball skills. Willing tackler who will crash the box vs. the run when needed. Functional athlete on the field but athletic profile lacks verified context in the form of track or combine testing. Similarly, size has not been verified yet. Free safety play style with a frame that could lead to dropping down as a hybrid back-seven player in certain situations. Projects to high-major level with plenty of long-term upside.
