Lemming Notes: He is one of the top two prospects in the state of Texas and ranks as the #1 DE in the country.
On Film–#42 dominates the game from start to finish. He is one of the more destructive forces in high school football. He can bend to the extent that sometimes looks like he is parallel to the ground and his closing speed is NFL ready. He has a great combination of size, speed, quickness, technique, and instincts. He shows a great understanding of the game. He must be double-teamed at all times and is a terrific all-around athlete. He has the frame to weight 270 in college. He is the prototypical DE and a high school difference maker.
Stats–He was named 2006 All-Area Newcomer of the Year as a freshman. As a sophomore he totaled 75 tackles and 10 sacks. Last season he totaled 94 tackles, 7 sacks, 11 tackles for losses and 20 QB hurries on his way to earning 1st Team All-State honors. He is the son of former Dallas Cowboy All-Pro Jim Jeffcoat.
Other Sports–He averages 12 pts and 10 rebounds a game as a PFW in basketball.
Grades–He is a straight 'A' student in the classroom. Benches 300 and has a 36" VJ.
Favorite Schools–This one is a tough one to figure out. His father is from North Jersey and played at ASU and also played with the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills so Jackson could wind up anywhere.
