LB Ty Jackson; (6-2, 205) Fort Lauderdale (FL) Seminole Ridge (Consensus Top 135)

Highlights:

Bio: The Gators were on him before anyone else and they thought they would get a commitment from him before summer was out. When Florida lost badly in the first game things changed and he quickly committed to USC. He’s a menacing linebacker who propels himself into ball carriers and drives through the tackle. He’s got great speed for the position and can be an early contributor at Florida. He had 350 career tackles before his senior season started.
