It may be a stretch to call Jesse Jackson a newcomer. The 6’2 receiver is entering his third year with the program. 2014 was his redshirt year and while he played in 2015 Jackson didn’t record any stats.

One thing this team needs is play-makers and Jackson fits the bill. He should have no problem knowing the offense and could provide a solid target for a young quarterback. Jackson was a four star recruit coming our of high school and could use that talent to get some playing time in 2016.
