Dynamic Defensive Weapon Trending to Alabama Crimson Tide Eyeing Ole Miss Visit

Memphis (Tenn.) White Station edge rusher Antwan Jackson will make his way to Oxford on Friday for an unofficial visit with Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels as the program continues its pursuit of the fast-rising defender.

Jackson has flown under-the-radar for much of his high school career, but a strong junior campaign catapulted his status to a Top-30 EDGE with a myriad of SEC programs extending offers his way.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pounder has reeled in scholarships from the likes of the Ole Miss Rebels, LSU Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Georgia Bulldogs, among others, as his rise continues in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle.

Jackson rounded out the 2025 season with 46 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, seven pressures, 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception where he immediately piqued the interest of multiple powerhouse schools - including the Ole Mis Rebels.

Now, Golding and Co. are squarely in the race for Jackson's commitment as his recruitment picks up with a significant visit in store for this week where he will return to Oxford on Friday, March 20.

But there is competition here.

Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide are surging for the Tennessee native with the SEC program receiving a prediction to land his commitment when it's all said and done.

Jackson recently took a trip over to Tuscaloosa (Ala.) for an unofficial visit with the Crimson Tide as the SEC rival surges in his recruitment process this offseason, but Golding and the Rebels staff aren't backing down.

Ole Miss will also host Jackson on an official visit to Oxford from June 5-7 with Golding and Co. getting a crack at the talented Tennessee defender as his recruitment explodes this offseason in Memphis.

The Rebels will continue looking to chip away at the coveted Tennessee prospect as Golding and the Rebels make their presence felt on the recruiting scene, but it's clear there will be stiff competition for his services amid a meteoric rise by the Alabama Crimson Tide this offseason.
