"Status: Jackson had a busy summer taking unofficial visits to Tennessee, Florida and Illinois. The Belleville, Ill., native is serious about the possibility of playing close to home, and that's why the Illini have a realistic shot in his recruitment. Tennessee impressed the five-star athlete, not only the stadium and the facilities but the way he was treated by the coaching staff, players and community.
Sources say Florida could be tough to beat, though, if Jackson decides to leave the Pac-12. He is serious about track in college, and the two-sport combination in Gainesville is difficult to pass up. Jackson is slow on naming official visits, but he said taking trips to schools he already has visited is unlikely. There is a contingent that believes Jackson is being patient to see what happens at USC this season and whether coach Lane Kiffin is retained. The five-star doesn't plan to make a decision until probably signing day, so all that will be sorted out by then."
