Burlington's Caleb Jackson: The Unlikely Ace
Burlington Sea Horses tight end Caleb Jackson hauled in 22 touchdown passes last season, a D-I record for a tight end, as the Sea Horses finished 9-3 and advanced to the semifinals of the VPA Division I playoffs. Off the field, Jackson maintains a 4.0 GPA, earning him a spot on the VPA's All-Academic Team. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior has already committed to play for the University of Vermont, where he plans to study business. Despite his academic success, Jackson's athletic prowess has not gone unnoticed. He's a top target for opposing defenses, and his ability to create separation in the end zone has made him a favorite among Sea Horses fans. This season, scouts will be watching to see if Jackson can build on his impressive junior campaign and become one of the top tight ends in the state. Can he maintain his academic and athletic balance, and what will be his impact on the Sea Horses' 2026 season?
