Dontavious Jackson, a 4-star inside linebacker for Alief Elsik (Houston), just made his college choice. He picked Florida State.

Ranked the fourth-best player in the country for his position and 89th player overall by 247Sports, Jackson is a fast and very active linebacker. He's been timed at 4.60 seconds in the 40-yard dash.

Texas was the frontrunner heading into Wednesday's National Signing Day, followed by Florida State and Oklahoma. The Seminoles got their guy.



The 6-foot-2, 239-pound specimen helped the Rams to a 7-4 year his senior season. He received an impressive 58 college offers and besides the above schools, he visited Michigan and Florida.
