4-star DL Kendall Jackson flips commitment from Miami to Texas A&M

Four-star defensive lineman Kendall Jackson of Gainesville (Fla.) F.W. Buchholz has flipped his commitment from Miami to Texas A&M, he announced on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive lineman was also previously committed to Florida. However, he flipped from the Gators to the Hurricanes earlier this month when UF defensive line coach Sean Spence was fired.

Spence has since taken a job with the Aggies and made Jackson a top flip target of his.

Jackson ranks as the No. 385 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 38 defensive lineman and the No. 47 player in Florida.

He is the first high school commitment for new head coach Mike Elko, who replaced the fired Jimbo Fisher earlier this month in College Station. With Jackson in the fold, the Aggies hold the nation’s No. 14 recruiting class heading into national signing day.
