Jackson committed to the program on December 20th of 2021 and was the third member of the 2023 recruiting class. He also holds offers from Western Kentucky and Georgia Southern while schools such as Coastal Carolina, South Carolina State, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech have all expressed interest.

A source tells Mountaineers Now that the coaching staff will look to fill Jackson's spot and that the plan is to still take a minimum of four defensive linemen in this cycle. A fifth may be added later down the road via the transfer portal but they'll have to wait and see what kind of attrition takes place throughout the season and in the winter.
