McKeesport (Pa.) four-star Branden Jackson will decide on Monday between UNC and Colorado for fifth and final official visit
Bob Lichtenfels is the recruiting guy for Scout out of Pittsburgh. He's been with them for 8 years and is very well connected.
Embree and company doing work!
Visits taken:
Texas Tech on 9/18
Rutgers on 9/25
Iowa on 10/22
Oregon on 11/5
Will it be Colorado or North Carolina in the next couple weeks for his 5th OV?
Interesting note on Jackson: he was primarily focused on basketball until about a year ago. He's a really good hoops player and was close to quitting football after a position change.
Jackson, who added 15 pounds since last year, is considered one of the top defensive end-linebacker prospects in Western Pennsylvania. He's tall and agile.http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10230/1080736-365.stmWas there a time when you thought basketball was your No. 1 sport? That's funny. Really last year, I thought basketball was going to be my sport. I went into football season and didn't think I would be a big part of the offense. Then they told me I would play middle linebacker and I had never played that before. I said, 'Man, I'm going to quit.' I thought I'd work hard to get a scholarship for basketball. But after playing linebacker, I started loving it.
Come on down and meet Mr Cabral, young man.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
This dude is athletic as heck coming off the edge... next Kanavis/Alfred right here.
His HS teammate, Delvon Simmons, has taken all 4 visits with him so far. He's a 4-star DT on Rivals, also with a 5th visit available. He's talking with USC right now with a fres offer, but you never know.... You listening Syko?

They are working hard no doubt. I have to bitch about it every year,pay no mind.
Dan hawkins cu football, the pollyanna-peter pan-pinocchio, flight of the imagination palace by the flatirons.
Hey, AB just wouldn't be the same without the occasional syko rant about DT's. Don't let us down now, brutha.
Sorry Syko, but looks like the DT is deciding on Florida or USC on his last visit. according to Rivals article...
I know, next year is the year we see if tui and mcghee can change the pathetic DL recruiting over the last what, 15 years?
All you Defensive Line fanboys are gonna be fired up...
Branden Jackson is visiting the Buffs on the weekend of the 28th. Rutgers is out of the running and we're his last visit.
Excellent! The Buffs are on the rise!
This would be a great fit for both Branden and the Buffs.

That's great news! But it's DT fanboy to you. Isn't one of his teammates a damn good DT?
His first visit in months as well. Yes please
