You know an Alabama athlete is elite when both the Crimson Tide and the Tigers have both offered the prospect a scholarship.

That’s the case with Prattville native, Ian Jackson.

The four-star linebacker from Prattville High School not only holds scholarship offers from both Alabama and Auburn but from SEC programs Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas A&M, in addition to many others around the nation.

On Thursday, Jackson offered the latest update on his recruitment, listing Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee and Texas A&M in his current top 10, along with Florida State, Louisville, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

The 6-foot-1, 208-pound linebacker is rated as a four-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting cycle, the No. 25 outside linebacker in the nation and Alabama’s No. 10 overall recruit by 247Sports Composite Rankings. During his junior season at Prattville, Jackson racked up 91 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and six sacks.
