Expert Analysis
Kyle Gookins | Prep Soccer Scout
Jackson is a center back for the Jacksonville FC MLS Next Club. He is a tall defender who can use his height to dominate arial balls. He is a committed defender and when he decides to step or go into a challenge, he outs everything into winning the challenge and rarely loses 50-50s. He is comfortable building out of the back and can pass through pressure and into the forward lines. He will continue to get better over the next years as he matures. He has a great frame for college soccer.
