Jalen Jackson Commits to Texas Tech
Bangor Rams tight end Jalen Jackson has committed to play for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Jackson, a Class of 2026 prospect, chose the Big 12 program over other Division I offers. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound athlete fits into Texas Tech's offense, which features a pass-heavy scheme that should play to his strengths. With the departure of several tight ends from the 2025 roster, Jackson sees an opportunity to contribute immediately. He also cited Texas Tech's strong academic program and the university's engineering department as factors in his decision. Jackson had previously committed to the University of Maine but reopened his recruitment in April. He will join a Texas Tech team that is looking to rebuild its tight end corps. Jackson's commitment is a significant addition for the Red Raiders, who are looking to improve their passing game in the upcoming season.
