USC RB commit Bryan Jackson getting back to full form with stellar performances
In the first half of the first game of the season, 2024 USC running back commit Bryan Jackson went down with an elbow injury that would effectively keep him out of the next three games. Well, Jackson is healed up and is beginning to look like himself.
When Jackson came back fully a few weeks ago, he came back in full force with 113-yards and three touchdowns.
The McKinney squad then had an off game, in which Jackson only got four carries.
Well, the past two games, Jackson has shown why he deserves the workload of carries in an offense.
Last week, on 25 carries, Jackson went for 129-yards and two touchdowns.
Then, this week, in a pivotal district matchup, Jackson got 24 carries in which he turned into 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
He is the bell-cow of the McKinney offense and with Jackson’s size and play style, he is able to wear down a defense to help close out the game with big runs.
In the three games this season that Jackson has gotten 12+ carries (games not affected by injury), he has 70 rushes for 401 yards and seven touchdowns.

Eval
At 6-foot, 230 pounds, the first look at him gives many the same idea. He is a big dude for short yardage. But when you watch him, you see that just being a bruising back is not his style. He is shifty, quick, and has good feet. One of the main things that stands out in his projection in the future is his ankles. He does not have thick, heavy ankles, which would lend him to more of the short yardage fit. He has thin ankles that allow him to have flexibility and maneuver well at his 230 pounds.
