Jackson played in seven games for the Trojans this season, posting 17 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown. In three seasons with the team, he had 46 catches for 498 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Jackson was rated as a four-star recruit by 247Sports’ composite rankings coming out of high school. He had offers from numerous schools, including three SEC programs (Kentucky, Ole Miss and Tennessee).

Georgia’s leading receiver this season was tight end Brock Bowers, who had 56 catches for 714 yards and six touchdowns. Bowers has since declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Senior Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint and junior Dominic Lovett were the team’s next most productive receivers.
