Jackson's Rise: Eastside Catholic's Jayden Jackson Earns Power 4 Offer
Eastside Catholic's Jayden Jackson, a 3A Crusader running back from the Class of 2025, left a lasting impression at the recent WIAA summer camp with a 4.38 40-yard dash time, the fastest among his peers. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Jackson's speed and agility have drawn attention from college scouts, with his latest Power 4 offer coming from the University of Washington. This marks the first time a Crusader has received an offer from a Power 4 program, a testament to Jackson's hard work and dedication. Throughout the summer camp, Jackson showcased his ability to change direction quickly and maintain top-end speed, leaving coaches and scouts impressed. As the season approaches, Jackson will look to build on his impressive performance and lead the Crusaders to a successful 3A campaign. Scouts will be watching to see if Jackson can translate his summer camp success to game-day performance, particularly in terms of his ability to break tackles and make plays in traffic.
