Explosive outside and one-cut runner who rips off long runs with regularity. Has a prototypical running back frame with a muscular build at around 5-foot-11, 200 pounds.

Personal Life

Kaleb Jackson earned his first college scholarship before playing a varsity snap. Jackson racked up 907 yards and 12 touchdowns in his sophomore season while Baton Rouge (La.) Liberty Magnet played a sub-varsity schedule. That’s when the college attention started to come in, and it’s not stopped from there. He racked up more than 1,580 yards and more than 23 touchdowns in 2021 and quickly established himself as one of the top recruits in Louisiana. “He can do so many different things and change the football game in so many different ways,” Magnet coach Drey Trosclair told the Baton Rouge Advocate. “Guys like him don’t come around often.” Jackson plans on majoring in engineering in college. His parents are Joe Lavergne and Cherlyn Jackson. He has three siblings.
