Scouting Jamaal Jackson

Jamaal Jackson already has four scholarship offers from BC, Louisville, Michigan and Rutgers and is out to prove that he’s not only the best running back in Delaware, but one of the best in the Northeast. After watching his film, you can see an abundance of talent.

Jamaal Jackson, a 5-foot-9, 165-pound running back from Hodgson Vo-Tech in Newark, Del., has already been offered by Boston College, Michigan, Louisville and Rutgers, but after coaches see his film he’s hoping for more. Here’s what we thought about Jackson, but check him out for yourself as well.

Jackson seems to always make the first man miss, follows his blocks and has a good burst. He runs with vision and instincts and is a shifty and elusive back that can be very hard to bring down because of the balance he shows. Despite his lack of size, Jackson can take a hit and find ways out of tight spaces. He likes to get off tackle and use his speed on the perimeter and is also a very good return man. He will need to add weight.
