Pleasant Grove football coach Josh Gibson doesn't hold back when describing Lance Jackson. "Lance is the total package," he said. "He possesses freakish athletic ability but has an elite work ethic and drive to go with his God-given talents. Very few young men work as hard as Lance does." Jackson's older brother, Landon, was a captain at Arkansas, and Gibson said the brothers have the same mentality when it comes to improving their games. "Lance has a growth mindset and works relentlessly on his weaknesses," Gibson said. "It is for these reasons that I truly believe he will have the same impact in college as Landon had at Arkansas." In 2022, Jackson finished with 63 tackles, 11.5 for loss, two sacks and a pair of pass breakups. He was named a first-team all-district selection in 2022 and 2023.
