Elijah Jackson: Soldotna Stars' TE Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Soldotna Stars tight end Elijah Jackson has etched his name in program history, becoming the first player from the 3A program to earn a Power 4 offer. The Class of 2027 standout boasts a 4.5-second 40-yard dash time, showcasing his elite speed for a player at his position. Jackson's impressive athleticism and receiving skills have caught the attention of college scouts, who are now eager to see him in action. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Jackson's size and agility make him a nightmare to defend. This summer, he's been participating in Soldotna's football camp, refining his route-running techniques and working on his hands. As the Stars begin their 2026 season, Jackson's growth and development will be closely monitored. Scouts are watching to see how he adapts to the team's new offense and whether he can maintain his impressive production throughout the season.
