4-star RB Kaleb Jackson signs with LSU

Baton Rouge (La.) Liberty Magnet High School four-star running back Kaleb Jackson has signed with LSU.

He is one of the Boot’s top-10 recruits and committed to the in-state Tigers on July 12.

Jackson is the No. 190 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $27k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Kaleb Jackson Scouting Summary

Explosive outside and one-cut runner who rips off long runs with regularity. Has a prototypical running back frame with a muscular build at around 5-foot-11, 200 pounds. A strong track athlete who regularly runs sub 11.0 seconds in the 100 meters. That long speed shows up on the field in spades. Has excellent play speed and burst. Explodes past the line of scrimmage and regularly pulls away from defenders at the second level. At his best when he can use his speed to get to the edge or make one cut and get north-south. Though he does not play top competition, registers as one of the more productive and efficient runners in the 2023 cycle. Rushed for 2,034 yards and 29 touchdowns while averaging 14.7 yards per attempt as a junior. Also a good receiver out of the backfield with 4 receiving touchdowns in 2021. More of a straight-line runner. Has some hip stiffness and lacks fluidity with his lateral agility.
