Jackson is an I-formation back. Asking him to run parallel with the LOS is not his game. He’s a straight ahead one cut runner. When the QB goes under center and we need 1-2 yards, he’s the guy I’d use.

Need to use him as a full back


We don’t use the FB at all. We use multiple TE instead.

Jackson was in on a run where we handed it to Thomas. He lead block on backer. Find a way on the field, he'll get an opportunity next week probably..... But, so will Berry, and Ju'Juan......he better make an impression. Ju'Juan is clearly someone the coaches want to get touches.

He's Keiland Williams all over again and that may be an insult to Williams. He has all the physical makings of a monster yet little to no actual skill as a RB. His vision is terrible, he can't move laterally and just doesnt look natural. I just dont see him ever being more than a situational guy if he sticks around. The young boys have already passed him up.

Clemson was very stout up front and Inbetween the tackles. We ran the ball alot outside and cut back lanes, this wasn't Jackson's game to get the rock

Jackson will get carries this weekend.
He has improved from last year. People need to realize that.

It’s wildly disrespectful to Keiland.

Said no one ever about KW

There was this big back with speed that we had during the later Les years. But he never got much playing time. That might be a better comparison, but then it’s probably disrespectful to Kaleb.

Hopefully he gets better over the season. I always liked when we had a ridiculous RB group.

Why is this on the recruiting side of TD? Because admin can't police this place.

Kaleb Jackson has very few memorable plays. Most of the time , it's a wasted down.

Honestly...this is the wrong offense for him. I expect him to transfer after the season and thats just being real

Short answer is Durham is a better RB.



Without question but JJ and a true freshman are getting snaps above him.

Whatever is going on in practice is proving that KJ ain't it.

Keiland Williams against Virginia Tech, was a highlight reel, Kaleb Jackson hasn't had a game like that yet

I believe Johnson passed him up.

I was a bit surprised that he did not transfer after last season.
