Gamecocks have worked their way into the thinking of DE Christopher Jackson
April 11, 2023
DE Christopher (CJ) Jackson (6-4 220) Defensive ends coach Sterling Lucas has made a play for him, and Jackson is considering a visit to Columbia this week.“Coach Lucas texts me all the time, I get on the phone with him and we’ve built a good relationship,” Jackson said. “It’s no nervousness or butterflies anymore, just straight up back and forth, we talk like we’ve been knowing each other. Since he offered me, I’ve got that vibe that he’s a pretty cool guy and I’m actually very excited to go up there. Of course, any big-time SEC school, I’m interested.”
As of Monday night, Jackson had not pinned down his plans for this week. He said he might visit South Carolina Thursday, or it might be Saturday for their spring game. But the Clemson spring game is also Saturday so he might visit South Carolina Thursday and Clemson Saturday. His plans largely depend on his mother’s work schedule.
Jackson said others high up with him now would be Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, and Colorado. Jackson just recently made visits to Georgia, Georgia Tech, and LSU, and really liked the visit to Baton Rouge. He also went to Alabama for a junior day in early March, and he plans to take a visit to Auburn.
He wants to make his decision in late July or early August.
