Four-star quarterback Trever Jackson of Winter Garden (FL) Jones High announced his commitment to Ole Miss Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-3, 195 pounder chose the Rebels over Texas A&M, UCLA, and Oklahoma.

“Lane Kiffin and his offensive staff as a whole,” Jackson said. “Lane recruited my brother to FAU when he was there and always knew since I was a kid that he would be a cool coach to play for. On top of that, who wouldn’t want to play for one of the most explosive offenses in college football?”

The Sunshine State quarterback joins coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels’ top 25 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star defensive lineman Kam Franklin, four-star defensive lineman Kmaron Beavers, and others.

Jackson ranks as the No. 252 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 16 quarterback and the No. 34 player in the state of Florida.

Scouting Summary

“Developmental quarterback prospect with arm talent and upside that stands out in the 2024 cycle. Measured in at a shade under 6-foot-3 and around 185 pounds prior to his senior season. Sports a 10-inch hand. Flashed a very strong arm on the camp circuit in the spring prior to his senior year. Also showed that arm talent as a first-year starter in 2022. Makes high level throws that belie his lack of varsity experience. Hits small window passes under duress. The ball comes out of his hand cleanly and with velocity. Navigates the pocket well, stepping up rather than flushing to either side. Has the functional mobility to elude pass rushers and pick up yards with his legs on scrambles and designed runs. Completed around 59% of his passes for 1,553 yards and 16 touchdowns against seven interceptions as a junior. Will need to grow as a player and increase his production as a senior. Younger for the cycle, with a late August birthday. Younger than many 2026 blue-chip quarterbacks.”

He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation publicly listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
