Five-star cornerback Domani Jackson sustained a season-ending knee injury in the opening game of his senior season on Saturday. The6-foot-1, 180-pounder had a high-level pick six in a showcase game against Texas power Duncanville prior to the injury. Jackson ends his Mater Dei career with 26 games played over four seasons - the total is much lower due to his injury and the shortened 2021 spring season, due to COVID-19.

Jackson was among the more highly-touted prospects to participate in The Opening Finals. He has prototypical physical tools for the cornerback position. The USC pledge pairs elite top-end speed with well above average stature and length. Overall, we thought Jackson performed the best among cornerbacks during the tournament. There were a few plays he'd want back, but Jackson showed the ability to stay attached downfield and strong makeup speed. He is still a bit of a work in progress from instincts and ball skills perspective. There are times where Jackson is susceptible to double moves and can lose the football.…

Has the best combination of size and long speed among the cornerbacks in the 2022 cycle. Tied the California state record in the 100 meters as a junior, running a posting 10.25 second mark in the state finals at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. A technically-sound, smooth mover who has been well-coached at one of the nation’s top high school programs. Is battle-tested against top wide receivers playing against nationally-ranked high school teams on a regular basis. Has considerable make-up speed to close the gap when he is out of phase. As a defense-only player, he’s still a work in progress when…

Domani Jackson brings elite speed with well above average size. He won a state title for Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei in the 100 meters this spring by running a blistering 10.25-second mark. That time tied the California state record. Jackson is a fluid mover and is able to erase separation with makeup speed. He plays with good technique but will need to continue improving his tracking and ball skills to reach his high ceiling.
