Jordan Jackson, RB, Emory & Henry | 2026 NFL Draft Prospect Zoom Interview
Jordan Jackson has established himself as one of the top running backs in Division II football, bringing a physical, downhill style to the Emory & Henry offense. A transfer from St. Francis University, Jackson made an immediate impact in 2024, earning First Team All-South Atlantic Conference honors after rushing for 1,036 yards. He opened the 2025 season with a statement performance against Glenville State, rushing for a career-high 226 yards on 26 carries (8.7 YPC) to earn SAC Offensive Player of the Week. A patient runner with great vision, Jackson consistently finishes runs with authority and is known for creating extra yards after contact.
Now entering the heart of the 2025 season, Jackson is firmly on the radar as a top D2 running back and a player to watch this fall. His value extends beyond carrying the football—he’s a trusted third-down option, especially in pass protection, and brings a reliable presence in short-yardage situations. Jackson’s ability to set the tone, control the clock, and wear down defenses makes him a dependable workhorse and a key difference-maker for Emory & Henry. With his production, toughness, and leadership, Jackson is poised for another standout year and continues to gain attention on the national stage.
