GA Preseason All State
This was easily one of the best overall performances in the event, and you can say Jackson “blew up.” A day after his tweet went out, he had interest from a handful of high quality D1 schools. We are so happy for Zach because there are few that deserve this more than he does. 2022 was his first year on the summer circuit of being recruited so he was sort of an unknown coming into the summer. He’s one of the best football players (WR, DB) on his HS team and it was only a matter of time before schools took notice of his elite athleticism. But now at the start of 2023, Jackson is being recruited quite heavily and someone is going to come away with a top of the order stolen base threat who’s got the hand eye & bat speed (27.0 hand speed, fastest in event. 96 EV) to barrel elite arms. He’s very instinctive in all facets and has legit 5 tool potential. Jackson’s 6.80 60 yd (1.67 10 yd) is only the beginning of the ceiling on his speed, as I see him as a 6.5 runner in the future as he continues to get stronger. The arm is above average on a pro scale currently and will easily end up plus. He didn’t throw on the mound in this showcase, but we’ve had him 86-90 with a nasty upper 70’s SL over the summer. This is a real as it gets two way.
