SI All-American Football Candidates in Alaska
Jackson Harmon, a rising senior who plays all over the field at South Anchorage High School, has been named to the watch list for the Sports Illustrated All-American team for 2020.
Harmon, who is 6-3 and 185 pounds, is multi-dimensional and listed as an “athlete” by Sports Illustrated, meaning college recruiters are looking at him for a variety of positions.
"I have one scholarship from a D2 school and I'm talking to a few D1 schools," Harmon told SIAA. "Penn, Princeton, Cornell, Yale, Brown, South Dakota State, Montana State, Oregon State, Boise State, UCLA and Louisiana-Monroe.
"I'm very grateful to have this many schools interested, coming from where I'm from."
He is the lone Alaskan on the SI All-American watch list, which totals 1,000 players. Video highlights, scouting analyses and a list of each player’s college verbal commitment and/or top college contenders can be found on their bio pages, listed by state, at SIAllAmerican.com. Harmon’s page can be found here.
