Ja'Keem Jackson Scouting Summary
Cody Bellaire
07/18/22

Dynamic two-way star whose ball skills point to a very high upside at corner. Played on both sides of the ball for one of the top high school programs in central Florida and picked off four passes as a senior. Stands in at just over 6 feet, 180 pounds with a wingspan over 6-foot-5. Can reach his top end-speed in a flash and has easy recovery speed. Ran an electronically-timed 4.57 40 during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season and has posted sub 11.0 second marks in the 100 meters. Has a very high ceiling as a cover corner due to his size, ball skills and athletic ability. Showed to be a quick study on defense at the Under Armour All-America Game as a senior, getting better over the course of the week and looking like arguably the top corner prospect on hand. Will need to continue developing physically and technically in order to optimize his natural ability.

Personal Life

Ja'Keem Jackson ranked as an On3 Consensus four-star recruit coming out of Kissimmee (Florida) Osceola in the Class of 2023. The Under Armour All-American signed with Florida, picking the Gators over Miami, Tennessee, Kentucky, Penn State, Auburn, Alabama and a list of other national offers. “Ja'Keem Jackson, I think, is probably one of the more talented players in the class, just relative to he's got a high ceiling,” Gators coach Billy Napier said on National Signing Day. “One of the best players in the state, in my opinion. And really a guy this time last year, you know, not a lot of people talking about the guy.” Jackson has been timed as fast as 10.9 seconds in the 100-meter dash. Playing both ways as a senior, he had 50 tackles, six pass breakups, three tackles for a loss and a fumble recovery. He also racked up 16 receptions for 299 yards and three touchdowns in 2022. Jackson's brother, Markevus, is a track athlete at Kentucky who posted a personal-record 10.79-second 100-meter dash in high school.
