Oklahoma Extends Offer to Rockhurst TE Jalen Jackson
The University of Oklahoma has extended a scholarship offer to Jalen Jackson, a 5-foot-10 tight end from Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo. Jackson, a rising senior in the Class of 2026, has been a dominant force on the field, hauling in 35 receptions for 475 yards and 7 touchdowns as a sophomore. He also boasts a 4.6-second 40-yard dash time and a 33-inch vertical jump. In addition to Oklahoma, Jackson has already received offers from Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa State. This summer, Jackson is participating in a series of elite camps, including the Rivals Three-Star Challenge and the Nike Football Camp. Jackson's recruiting timeline is expected to heat up in the coming months, with a decision potentially coming as early as the end of the summer. The Rockhurst Hawklets are set to begin their 2026 season in late August.
