Brandon Valley TE Isaiah Jackson Impresses in First Season
Isaiah Jackson caught 12 touchdown passes in his first season with the Brandon Valley Lynx, helping the team earn a spot in the state playoffs. The Class of 2026 tight end transferred from out-of-state and quickly earned a starting role in the 11-man South Dakota high school football landscape. Jackson's impressive debut season has scouts taking notice of his athleticism and receiving skills. Standing 6-foot-4, Jackson's size and speed combination make him a difficult matchup for opposing defenders. His ability to create separation and make plays down the field has drawn comparisons to some of the top tight ends in the region. As he enters his senior season, scouts will be watching to see how Jackson develops his blocking skills and whether he can maintain his production in a more physically demanding role. His progress will be closely monitored as he enters the recruiting process.
