What’s preventing college recruiters from seeing St. James' quarterback KJ Jackson’s potential? “Probably cause of (school size), but you know it is the college guy’s job to find him,' his coach Jimmy Perry said. More:
Dec. 01, 2022, 9:56 p.m.KJ Jackson was a few steps outside Jordan-Hare Stadium’s home locker room when he was spotted.

While others in the class, Jackson is at the onset of the process with few visits taken and a smattering of high-level offers received. What’s preventing college recruiters from seeing Jackson’s potential?
Jackson said he’s learned the intricacies of the RPO offense and worked to be a more vocal leader. St. James’ offensive strategy requires a pre- and post-snap read of the defense. Unlike most high school quarterbacks, Perry argued, Jackson is adept at studying the field. Perry compared Jackson to former Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. He’s decisive with the ball and stays calm regardless of the moment.
He started the comeback with a 21-yard hit to Clint Houser in the endzone, Jackson moving the defenders out of the way with his eye discipline. He followed up with three more bombs from the pocket, effortlessly launching the ball downfield for Houser, Ziggy Holloway and Ethan Beard to run under it.
