Antwan Jackson, a promising three-star EDGE from Memphis, TN, is making waves on the recruiting trail, particularly with his strong interest in joining Alabama. Standing tall at 6-foot-6 and weighing in at 225 pounds, Jackson received an offer from the Crimson Tide during his visit to the Oklahoma game last November. Since then, his relationship with Alabama's outside linebackers coach, Christian Robinson, has only strengthened.
Jackson's trip to Tuscaloosa in January for Junior Day left a lasting impression. "The way the Alabama staff welcomed me and the articulate nature of their coaches really stood out," Jackson shared. He also expressed admiration for head coach Kalen DeBoer, noting his authenticity and clear vision for success.
As of February, Jackson mentioned that Alabama was a frontrunner in his recruitment, alongside Ole Miss. He’s planning a spring practice visit on March 27, coinciding with his birthday, and has confirmed an official visit from May 29-31.
Recently, at a 5v5 event in Orlando, FL, Jackson reiterated to Noles247's Zach Blostein that Alabama remains a top contender in his recruitment journey. As Jackson's potential continues to unfold, his interest in Alabama is a storyline to watch closely.
