How Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson performed at 2024 NFL Combine
Few players on Oregon’s 2023 roster did more to boost their NFL Draft stock than senior cornerback Khyree Jackson.
After transferring in from Alabama last offseason, he immediately locked down a starting job with the Ducks and was one of the key figures for Tosh Lupoi’s unit. Jackson earned first-team all-conference honors after recording 34 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, three interceptions, and seven pass breakups.
At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week, Jackson will look to further bolster his draft stock.
On Friday, he and dozens of other defensive backs went through measurements and testing.
His measurements were as follows.
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 194 pounds
Hand: 9 1/4″
Arm: 32 1/4″
Wingspan: 78.00″
Jackson ran a 4.50-second 40-yard dash — 22nd fastest out of 29 cornerbacks. His 1.5-second 10-yard split was the eighth-best among cornerbacks.
Jackson’s vertical jump (36.5 inches) was the 17th-best among cornerbacks, and his broad jump of 11 feet, 1 inch was the third-best among cornerbacks.
Khyree Jackson NFL.com scouting report
“Extremely imposing outside cornerback with rare size and strength. Jackson’s measurables are a big plus, but he started just 14 games during his college career, so the technique is inconsistent. He can be hit-or-miss from press, but when he catches the receiver with his punch, it’s trouble. A lack of anticipation and sticky hips cause him to get lost at transition points at times. Contested catches tilt heavily in his favor and will continue to do so as he improves with more coaching and experience. Jackson’s size and physicality combined with his NFL-caliber run support should make him an early backup with a chance to climb the ladder into a starting role if he proves he has the necessary speed.” – Lance Zierlein
