I would've stayed silent if I thought he was a Waggner type. 😎

P-Wag had really good instincts. He lacked speed and size. He was a good player for us. But I agree with you.

Theo Jackson is a top 10 player in Tennessee imo. Tall. Good frame! Natural bender with very good quickness. And hes physical.
Probably best fit as a Safety, but expect him to be used as a nickel early on.

The talent coming out of that area is amazing. Middle Tennessee has turned into Louisiana north for Football talent.

"Theo Jackson, DB, Nashville (Tenn.) Overton - I think this kid is going to be a multi-year mainstay in the Tennessee secondary under Bob Shoop. Behind Jacoby Stevens and Maleik Gray, Jackson is the best defensive back in Tennessee in my opinion. He's also one of the most underrecruited guys in the southeast. He's the type of player that is nowhere close to how good he can ultimately become. Jackson looks the way you want a high school defensive back to look. He's 6-2, long and wiry strong. He's not a finished product. He's going to get thicker, stronger, more explosive but he already sticks out among elite company."

Has more upside than Gray for sure. Could be flat out nasty on the backend. 😎😎😎😎😎

Jackson, Bumphus and Fant are three REALLY good instate grabs for the 2017 class. Add them to Gray and we now have the group that can bring home Chandler, Higgins, Smith and maybe even Stevens.

Different prospects. Gray is tailor made for the STAR position.
Can be a nightmare on 3rd down.

Jackson is a high safety eraser of bad plays and bust in the secondary. Great field speed from Jackson.

They will both make our defense better

My favorite commit from yesterday along with Trey Coleman.

Really like this kid. He's a baller.

All these kids today had some positives. Coleman is a breakaway RB that runs behind his pads well. Good feet and very agile. I see him being 6'1 220 4.4 monster in 2 years.

Jackson is fast.

Jackson is actually a 5 star level athlete in my books.
