Trey Jackson plays wide receiver and defensive back for Mount Paran Christian in Kennesaw. After his junior season, the 5’9”, 174-pound, star was named First-Team All-Region at defensive back.
This Class of 2023 prospect has attended several college camps this summer but with many more on his calendar to showcase his skills on both sides of the ball.
Jackson plays with great speed and physicality while also being a ball hawk on both sides of the ball.
With Jackson already drawing interest from several colleges, it’s only a matter of time before he reels in his first college offer.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Trey to talk about his junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
