Carson Jackson Commits to Texas Tech
Traverse City Central Trojans lineman Carson Jackson has committed to Texas Tech. Jackson, a 2026 graduate, will join the Red Raiders as an offensive lineman. At 6-foot-4, 290 pounds, Jackson is expected to fit into Texas Tech's zone-blocking scheme. The depth chart opportunity is also attractive, as the Red Raiders are looking to replace several departing linemen. Jackson's commitment comes after a strong showing at Texas Tech's summer camp. He was previously committed to Michigan State, but decommitted in April to explore other options. Jackson's academic profile is also a good fit, as Texas Tech is known for its strong engineering program. Jackson's commitment is a significant pickup for the Red Raiders, who are looking to build a strong 2027 recruiting class.
