Rising Star: Hunter Jackson, Yarmouth Clippers
Hunter Jackson's 6-foot-4 frame and sure hands made him a standout in the Clippers' spring passing drills, hauling in 12 of 15 targets for 175 yards and two touchdowns. The transfer from Virginia earned a starting role at tight end, a position he's been playing since freshman year. Jackson's experience in the Mid-Atlantic Conference will be put to the test in Class C South, where the Clippers will face off against top-ranked teams like Falmouth and Cape Elizabeth. As a Class of 2027 prospect, scouts are keeping a close eye on Jackson's ability to adapt to the MPA's rules and regulations. They're also watching to see if he can maintain his impressive spring form, particularly in the face of more physical defenses. With his size, speed, and athleticism, Jackson has the potential to be one of the top tight ends in the state.
