Amir Jackson

As a College Recruit

Jumbo athlete with an extremely high upside as a tight end prospect. Measured in at a shade under 6-foot-5 and around 220 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a lean, muscular frame with room to add considerable mass. Has plus length, with his arms measuring at 34 inches. A fluid athlete with the movement skills of a big receiver. Lines up on the outside in a flexbone offense. Shows a considerable catch radius. Effortlessly climbs the ladder to elevate and come down with extended grabs. Has the look of a big-time jump ball threat. Also flashes athleticism as a ball carrier - scoring multiple touchdowns on carries as a senior. Also plays defense as an outside linebacker - registered 70 tackles as a junior. Doubles as a talented basketball player, averaging 13 points per game as a junior. Plays at a lower level of competition and may need some time to adjust to the uptick in competition and continue to add strength in order to play in-line. Has one of the higher developmental ceilings in what is a strong cycle at tight end.
