Kennedee Jackson<\/a> is trading his orange and blue for red and black.<\/p>\n

The Rivals100 offensive tackle out of Lithonia High School has flipped from Florida<\/a> to Georgia<\/a>. Jackson previously committed to the Gators on June 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst thing I think of, winning program, never losing,\u201d Jackson told UGASports earlier this spring<\/a>. \u201cSo if you go there, you\u2019re going to get some wins, you\u2019re going to be coached and developed, and they\u2019ve got a lot of draft picks every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 6-foot-6 and over 300 pounds, Jackson profiles as a future offensive tackle in Athens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jackson has made several visits to Athens since his recruitment exploded earlier this year. He took his official visit the weekend of June 5-7 and also visited for the Scavenger Hunt in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s flip marks the most significant recruiting win yet for Georgia offensive line coach Phil Rauscher.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s real. He has a good resume,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cIt means a lot because he knows what he\u2019s talking about, and you need that as a player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson is Georgia\u2019s second offensive tackle commit in the 2027 class, joining DJ Dotson<\/a>. Abram Eisenhower<\/a> and Ty Johnson<\/a> round out the current offensive line class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kennedee Jackson is trading his orange and blue for red and black.
