Devon Jackson: The In-State Impact
Devon Jackson's arrival at Mililani High School has made waves in the Oahu football scene. The junior linebacker's impressive debut season culminated in a 123-tackle performance, a single-season school record. Jackson transferred from Texas, where he played in HHSAA 6A, and quickly earned a starting role on the Trojans' defense. His experience in a high-powered offense has translated to the HHSAA Division I, where Mililani competes. Scouts have taken notice of Jackson's ability to read and react to plays, allowing him to make tackles in the hole. As he enters his second season in Hawaii, Jackson will look to build on his impressive freshman campaign. He has already drawn comparisons to some of the state's top linebackers. Scouts are watching to see how Jackson adapts to the HHSAA's more physical defensive schemes and whether he can maintain his elite tackle numbers.
