f Jackson, from Vero Beach, Fla., who can fire off the ball low, get under defenders' pads, roll his hips and knock them on their heels, he can catch Johnson playing with high pad level and push him back in the run game. That being said, it will be interesting to see how Jackson can handle the combination of size, power and quickness that Johnson possesses. Johnson's get-off along with his power could cause problems for the physical Jackson in pass-rushing situations. While Jackson is best known for his tenacious run blocking he has displayed better-than-expected ability as a pass blocker, which could make this matchup even better. This battle between two big men with good tools and tenacious styles should make for some good battles in the trenches.
OG Marcus Jackson, 6-2/315, Vero Beach (Fla.)
Rankings: 3-star, No. 13 at position
Finalists: Miami, Michigan State, Tennessee
The buzz: Jackson was a long-time commitment to the Miami Hurricanes but decided to re-open his recruitment after the school fired head coach Randy Shannon. Prior to officially re-opening his recruitment he took official visits to Michigan State and Tennessee, though the Spartans appear to be the least likely option for him. Jackson was very impressed when he visited Rocky Top, commenting how everything seemed like a big family. He also felt he could contribute immediately upon arriving on campus. New Miami coach Al Golden has made an in-home visit and gotten him to take an official visit to campus, but the vibe from others at the game is that Jackson will be playing in the SEC. We agree.
Prediction: Tennessee
im still hoping marcus puts the miami hat...![]()
I have a grave prepared for those "hopes." Comes complete with a tombstone and everything. The epitaph reads: "Here lies miamicane's hopes for Marcus Jackson."
Just in case.
Of course, you can use that grave to bury my hopes for Marcus, as well.
Just in case. :lol:
