Junior Year - Drake Jackson highlights

Drake Jackson Commits to Kentucky

 

VERSAILLES, Ky. – Sitting in front of the fireplace of his family's log cabin and with about 50 relatives, friends and football teammates crammed into the living room to hear him speak, Drake Jackson was at home when he let everyone know he was staying home.

Jackson, a four-star junior from Woodford County High School and arguably the nation's best interior offensive lineman, unzipped a sweatshirt to reveal a blue University of Kentucky jersey, bringing a roar of cheers from the crowd and giving the Wildcats a key in-state recruiting victory.

"It's my home-state school," Jackson said. "It's the place where I feel most comfortable. The coaches did a great job recruiting me, and I'm so excited about what they're doing there."

I heard this kid speak on the radio after his sophomore season.

 

Crazy how mature this kid is.

Kid is a beast. Down right nasty in the trench.

Good story. Wish him the best of luck !!

Jackson is the number one ranked player in the state, in his class. Nice to see a lineman get that kind of recognition.
