Mustangs' Jackson Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Jayden Jackson, the Myers Park Mustangs' 4A quarterback, etched his name in school history by becoming the first player from the program to earn a Power 4 offer. The Class of 2027 signal-caller threw for 2,345 yards and 22 touchdowns last season, averaging 7.3 yards per attempt. Jackson's impressive performance caught the attention of college scouts, who are now eyeing his growth and development over the summer. As he prepares for his senior season, Jackson is expected to lead the Mustangs' high-powered offense, which averaged 35.6 points per game in 2025. With his strong arm and quick decision-making, Jackson is poised to make a significant impact in the 4A classification. Scouts are watching for Jackson to refine his mechanics, improve his accuracy on deep throws and demonstrate his ability to read defenses. His performance at summer camps and in pre-season scrimmages will be crucial in solidifying his status as a top prospect in the state of North Carolina.
