Dre's HUDL from 2016:

To me, he looks better in run support than coverage. Overall, we needed another corner who can compete now, which Dre can. Good job by the coaches to replace the loss of Tre'von Strong and Chris Harris with JoJo Henderson and Dre Jackson.

So looks like Dre was highly recruiting prior to his senior season in 2014 down in Georgia. Held offers from Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt prior to his senior season and was on Clemson and Georgia's radar. But looks like he had an injury-riddled senior season and the offers went away. I'm sure Colter will get the story.

Rated a 2-star by 24/7 in high school at Central Gwinnett in Atlanta. He was the top male academic student athlete at Ventura College last year. Also had visits to Auburn and Ohio State. Appears to have 3 years to play two.

Yeah something must have happened his senior season. He got an offer from Vanderbilt (which is a high academic school) so must be more to the story his senior season.

Well, solid transfers seem to be about 50/50 these days. Keeping my fingers crossed. I like that Jackson doesn't seem to shy away from contact and I love that he is academically sound. Choate does a good job of finding good scholars that are also good athletes.

Looks to me like a good pick up. Would still love to see another big DE come in before camp starts. I would even take Marino back if he was still an option. Would have loved to have seen what Choate and Ty could have done with a kid like that (minus his attitude).

Marino would have lasted two seconds with Ty and Jeff. Rarely followed assignment and hard to coach.

This guy looks really good, ready to compete immediately. I love the JC program. Gives guys another chance or to those that aren't quite ready for D1 out of high school. I wonder what he is planning to study. Regardless, those with both athletic and academic ability are the most welcome. A coach's dream.

Is Dre there today? Hopefully I'm reading too much into this but he is the only JC transfer not listed on the roster on msubobcats.com

Pretty sure Dre was #20 today running with the corners.
