McKinnley Jackson is a gridiron football player who plays the defensive tackle position. Jackson is a senior at Texas A&M University having been there from 2020. He was born in Mississippi and attended George County High School in his native state. His stats in high school were highly impressive as he finished with over 300 tackles, including 135 for loss of yards. He also added 34 sacks, and 16 forced fumbles among other achievements.
Despite having offers from Universities such as Alabama and LSU, Jackson decided to join Texas A&M to play for the Aggies football team. Jackson featured in 10 games as a freshman making one start and appeared in 10 games again as a sophomore. In his junior and senior seasons, he was the team captain throughout the seasons.
A couple of things that stand out while scouting Jackson is that he is aggressive off the line of scrimmage making him quick to get off, especially for his size. He also possesses good upper body strength and has the ability to split the double teams. On the flip side, he is somewhat undersized with smaller arm length which can cause problems against taller linemen. He also needs to iron out a few technical flaws in his game, especially against the run game.
