Does he have interest in LSU? If not this is an LSU recruiting board.

He has interest in any school that has interest in him at this point. I know exactly what site this is and if he was not listed as a prospect of interest, I would not have posted. Excuse me if I am wrong and God bless you. No more post from me.

He is listed as one of the prospects of interest....that's why I posted it. If Les Miles is not interested, so be it. There are others who are and that's the nature of recruiting.

After only playing five game his junior season, Desmond Jackson is looking forward to next season. He recently went down to Orlando for the Under Armour Combine and performed well. Jackson put up huge numbers early in his high school career and is poised for a big senior season.

“The combine went pretty well,” said Desmond Jackson (5’9/170). “I enjoyed getting back out there and being around all the players and just having fun.”

Jackson, a junior from West Rowan High School in Mount Ulla, N.C, played in only five games this season. However, he is still attracting interest from several schools.

“I am hearing from Oregon, Alabama, Duke, North Carolina State, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Florida, Florida State, Texas A&M, and Auburn,” he said. “Duke, Oregon, and Pittsburgh are recruiting me the hardest, but I am still waiting on my first offer.”

Although Jackson maintains that he is open to all schools, he did have a favorite school growing up.

“My favorite school is Oregon,” said Jackson. “I have always liked them and I really like all the speed that they have.”

With the combine behind him, Jackson will focus on becoming a better player.

“I really am going to work on getting stronger and getting my 40 down to a consistent 4.4,” he said “I also really want to improve on hitting the hole a little harder and also being patient as a runner,” he said.

The Falcons’ running back plans to attend several camps this summer.

“This summer, I plan to go to as many one day camps as possible,” Jackson said. “I know I am probably going to go to N.C. State, Auburn, Wake Forest, North Carolina, and maybe Georgia Tech.”

As for his senior season, Jackson wants to make the most of it.

“I want take my team to the 3-A state championship, get better, and help my teammates,” he said.

In five games, Jackson had for 375 yards rushing, 120 yards receiving, 200 return yards, and seven total touchdowns. He bench presses 225 pounds, squats 405, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.
UA Combine Report: RB/LB/TE

Scout had the fields blanketed at the Wide World of Sports on Saturday covering the Under Armour Combine. Scout.com National Analyst Chad Simmons shares his thoughts on RB, LB and TE right here.

The top back on hand Saturday was not able to compete due to an injury back in August and that was Altee Tenpenny. He is an early member of the Scout100 for the 2013 class and he has offers from schools like Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, and Oklahoma early.

In the group that competed, there was a good mix of small and quicker backs and a couple of the bigger backs.

A.J. Turman is a running back out of Boone in Orlando that measured in at 6-feet tall and 198 pounds. He ran the 40 yard dash in the 4.7 second range and he showed what he is on the field in pads – a strong runner who is a straight-ahead runner, and someone who can get yards after contact. He reports a number of early offers from the likes of Duke, Florida State, and Notre Dame among others.

Adam Lane is right around 5-feet 7-inches tall and well put together at 218 pounds. He is a little quicker laterally than Turman and he has showed some good hands coming out of the backfield. Florida has offered Lane.

Ryan Green out of Tampa was arguably the top running back of the day. He ran the 40 yard dash in 4.47 seconds and he showed great quickness when working out of the backfield. He is an athlete with good balance and quick feet.


A few other backs that had nice performances were Desmond Jackson out of North Carolina, Jabo Lee out of South Carolina, and Jamaal Cole out of Georgia.

Sep 212:17PM ETEmailPrintCommentsBy Brandon ParkerIn this week's edition of All-State Stock Watch, we're looking at All-State football players who saw their potential value rise or fall over the past week. A player could have performed well in a game, gotten a big-time scholarship offer, broken his leg or just had an off game. (Hey, it happens to the best of us.)
Here are the movers and shakers from week two:

UP — Steve Houston, Richmond RB/DB
Houston made his mark at the DB spot last season for Richmond, but it's from the tailback position that the senior is busting loose in 2011. The senior needed just seven carries to rack up 238 yards and three touchdowns in the Raiders' 44-7 win against Lee County.

DOWN — Alex McCalister, West Forsyth DL
When McCalister transferred from R.J. Reynolds this past summer, it appeared West Forsyth had gotten the jewel it needed to make its defense go. But the Titans' defensive unit has struggled in its first two games, surrendering 41 points in losses to East Forsyth and Carver. Last week against Carver, the Titans saw a 10-point, second-quarter lead disappear into a 17-13 loss. The good news, though, is that with a stud like McCalister, who has drawn several D-1 offers, West Forsyth has the tools to turn things around.

UP — Desmond Jackson, West Rowan RB
After overcoming the shock of losing its first game in 47 contests during the season opener against Mooresville, Jackson and West Rowan bounced back last week. The junior tailback scored three touchdowns to help the Falcons rally for a 45-32 win against Davie. Production like this is what the Falcons need to start up another lengthy win streak and win its fourth straight 3A title.

Do you know who else on the list that may be close to receiving an offer from the tigers? :geauxtigers:
Three of the prospects in the 2013 class are listed in this Charlotte Observer article. Uriah Lemay, Desmond Jackson and Riley Fergurson:The Charlotte Observer also listed the top area recruits in the area.
