Interesting. Did he get hurt or benched?

Originally went to TCU. Didn’t play. His stats at Cal:

51/96 556 yds 5 TDs 2 INT

26 carries 59 yards 1 TD

Sounds like kids is multi-talented, quick, big arm, too much an athlete to stay off the field... and willing to change positions.

Sam Jackson V arrived at Naperville Central High School in suburban Chicago as a transfer in the summer before his sophomore season. Payton Thorne was established as the star quarterback, two years older, so Jackson happily shifted to wide receiver while also serving as Thorne’s understudy.

He’s one of those guys with the athleticism that warrants getting him on the field. I could see him being a Ryan Davis type slot guy to take the heat off of our monster receivers underneath. One of those guys you have to account for.

Yep that’s Thorne slinging it.

I think this will be a good pickup when all is said and done.

He was a top 100 recruit on On3 just a few classes ago

Seems like a solid pickup. Kid is a heck of an athlete and I would imagine we aren’t spending a ton on him. Seems like a low risk, high reward situation.
