DE KENYATTA JACKSON
Receiving first-, second- and third-team snaps at defensive end on Saturday, top-60 2022 prospect Kenyatta Jackson flashed off the edge during Ohio State’s scrimmage. The 6-foot-5 pass rusher was credited with back-to-back sacks at one point during 11-on-11 work and might have had another one had he not been held by Gee Scott Jr. on a play that drew a flag from the officials on hand.

While Jackson didn’t have a whole lot of opportunities as a true freshman, Day said the tutelage of teammates like Paris Johnson Jr. appears to be paying off as the four-star recruit seems to be turning a corner early in the offseason.

“We're looking for that production. I thought he put in a great year last year, put in a lot of work. He would go a lot against Paris, especially in practice,” Day said. “And they would sit down over on the bench for hours just talking. And I know what Paris was doing. He was taking him under his wing to talk about different things with offensive, defensive line play, talking technique. And so now I think you're starting to see that come of age. He had a really good offseason, he put a lot of weight on, now we're trying to see that production. It looked like he was in the backfield a lot.”

 

According to Buckeye Talk saying Kenyatta Jackson has a skill set that we haven't seen since the Bosa's and that's how flexible he is. With his speed and how he can really bend it makes him really stand out.
