When the whistle blows and the ball is snapped, Jackson doesn’t just enter the play but disrupts it with violent purpose. A fierce blend of power, size, and electric first-step quickness, he brings a unique storm to the line of scrimmage that separates him from the rest. His explosive ability to rush the passer from any angle and impose his will in the run game has made him the engine of Clover’s defense. Whether crashing through gaps or anchoring against double teams, Jackson’s presence on the field is both rugged and ruthless that demands attention, creates chaos, and forces teams to alter their plans. His dynamic style is more than just stats and tackles, it’s the emotional heartbeat of a defense that feeds off his relentless energy. That same impact could change the temperature of a college defense the moment he steps on campus.

What makes him even more dangerous is what he sees before the chaos begins. Jackson locks in on body language like the tilt of a tackle’s feet, the lean in a guard’s stance, the eyes that give everything away. Then he turns that knowledge into fuel, beating blockers off the snap or anticipating where the play is headed and blowing it up before it begins. He’s crafty in the trenches never guessing, always reading. And every single time he takes the field, coaches know exactly what they’re going to get a full-throttle effort, unwavering leadership, and a hunger to dominate. He’s not looking for shortcuts or coasting on talent. Jackson is built for the grind and geared to lead.

Last season, the numbers spoke volumes as Jackson had 13 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and 28 total tackles—earning him First Team All-Region honors. But it’s the behind-the-scenes improvement that made that possible. Jackson’s biggest growth came in how he handled double teams and asserted himself in the run game, anchoring his side with a more complete, ruthless edge. This offseason, he’s locked in on speed and strength by adding muscle, trimming time, and preparing to hit the field stronger, faster, and even more relentless. His ultimate goal is to be the team that finally breaks the six-year wall and pushes Clover beyond the second round. That’s the fire. That’s the mission.

What fuels him day in and day out is something deeper than the game, his parents. Jackson’s drive to earn a scholarship and make sure they don’t have to pay for college burns hotter than any opponent he lines up against. When facing adversity, he doesn’t spiral. He just locks in and lets his game do the talking. Whether it's D1 or any school that believes in him, Jackson is ready to bring the pain, raise the standard, and be the difference.

Every rep he takes, he’s building something. And for the players coming behind him, he doesn’t just set the example and he’s willing to teach. Jackson knows the blueprint, and he's not afraid to pass it down. As far as recruitment goes, no offers have come through yet, but three schools have taken notice with visits. The right program, the one that offers or invites him in will stand out. And that program will be getting more than a player. They’ll be getting a problem for offenses and a leader for their locker room.

I assess that Jackson’s rare combination of size, versatility, and football IQ make him a terror on the edge or inside. His ability to diagnose plays before they unfold and then explode into the backfield puts him a step ahead. His edge work and physicality against the run make him a three-down difference-maker.

Jackson brings a violent edge and relentless motor that can elevate a college defense immediately. He’s a plug-and-play defensive lineman who can impact both the pass and run game, lead in the locker room, and wear multiple hats across the front. With continued speed development and added muscle, he has the tools to become a standout at the next level and beyond. His ceiling is sky-high and he’s climbing fast.

Jackson isn’t satisfied with just putting up numbers, he’s determined to change the outcome. As he continues to build speed, stack strength, and sharpen his vision before the snap, expect his impact to grow even more. He’s built for big games, ready to lead deep playoff pushes, and hungry for a shot to prove himself at the next level. Every season, every snap, he’s elevating his game and any program that takes a chance on him won’t be getting a project. They’ll be getting a dominant, day-one contributor with the mindset of a warrior and the drive of someone who’s chasing something bigger than football. Jackson Hill is coming, and he's bringing chaos with him. Stay tuned.
