Penn State Lands Top Safety Prospect Marcus Jackson
Penn State has extended a scholarship offer to highly touted safety Marcus Jackson, a rising senior at Butte High School in Montana. Jackson, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back, has been one of the top performers at the MHSA's annual summer camp, showcasing his speed and agility in drills and scrimmages. He has recorded a 4.5-second 40-yard dash time and has been clocked at 4.38 seconds in the pro shuttle. Jackson already holds offers from Oregon and Washington State, and his recruitment is expected to gain significant attention in the coming months. As the Class of 2027's top safety prospect, Jackson is considered a top target for several Power Five programs. With his impressive measurables and on-field performance, Jackson is poised to be one of the top recruits in Montana this fall. Jackson plans to make his official visits to Penn State and Oregon in September, with a decision expected in early October.
