Watch: 4-star Vols WR commit Radarious Jackson's Highlights to start senior season
Radarious Jackson quickly turned into one of the most sought after wide receiver recruits in the country after a strong junior season. Jackson and his Sheffield game are at the mid-point of the season, and he recently posted his mid-season highlights which you can watch below.
At Sheffield, Jackson does a little bit of everything, including playing running back, quarterback, receiver, and defensive back, and the stat sheet represents as much. Though four games, Jackson has completed 8 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. He has carried the ball 38 times for 350 yards and four touchdowns, while catching nine passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
Defensively, Jackson has stuffed the stat sheet as well. He has recorded 32 total tackles, including seven tackles for loss. Jackson has added two sacks and also an interception during the first four games of the season.
On Thursday night, Jackson helped Sheffield improve to 3-2 on the season. He had two pick sixes, two receiving touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. His overall stat line has not been updated to reflect this. The above stats are what is available through four games.

Jackson is currently rated as the No.88 overall prospect in the On3 Rankings, and On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power has been high on the West Tennessee standout for sometime.
“Radarius Jackson is a prospect that we’ve liked quite a bit, dating back to the fall, I think simply put, he’s a playmaker,” Power told Volquest in April. “This is a guy who finds ways to impact the game in really every, every phase, every aspect. You know, not surprising that he was named Mr. Football for his classification after the end of the season. He’s a guy who I think shows exciting flashes as a receiver prospect. For starters, I think he shows a very, very good burst off the line. He can track the ball, winning contested situations. And I think what makes Radarius Jackson interesting is his ability after the catch. He’s a bigger receiver at 6-2, 195 pounds, but gets North-South quickly, shows a good bit of wiggle in making defenders miss in space, and he kind of becomes like a running back with the ball in his hands.
“So I think he can make a lot of plays in the quick game. He’s a guy who you could hand the ball off to and just use in a multitude of ways. I just love the overall toughness. We see him play defense, and carry the ball. He’s made plays as a return man. There are so many things that I think are encouraging about the football player on Friday night. Then, of course, he’s a good basketball player. I just think this is a guy who’s just kind of a competitor, a gamer. I think once he focuses solely on receiver and gets the coaching he’s going to get at Tennessee, I think there’s certainly an upside that Vols fans should be excited about.”
