2009 OUTLOOK A steady, smooth, and deceptively quick receiver who was a nice story in 2008, as he developed quickly enough to play as a true freshman ... Takes that extensive experience into the 2009 season, where he begins fall camp listed at No. 2 on the depth chart at the H-receiver position, behind veteran wideout Danario Alexander ... Could also factor into the return game as the Tigers look to replace 1st-round NFL Draft pick Jeremy Maclin, who was a two-time consensus All-American the last two years ... Spent the vast majority of spring camp running with the top-string offense, as Alexander sat out from contact, which gave him valuable experience ... Was one of the offense's top performers in the spring game, as he caught 2 passes for 26 yards, and was the leading rusher on the day as well, going for 39 yards on 2 attempts.
2008 SEASON Not necessarily expected to come in and contribute as a true freshman, he kept grading out highly every day in fall camp, and eventually played his way into field time in 2008 ... Saw action in all 14 games on the season, finishing with 9 receptions for 98 yards, plus two rushes for a net of 10 yards out of the backfield ... Made his first collegiate reception against Southeast Missouri State ... Finished the SEMO game with six catches for 70 yards, which were team-leading totals on the night ... Also had one carry for 11 yards against SEMO ... Caught a seven-yard pass against Texas ... Made one grab (for six yards) against Kansas State ... Finished the year by making a 15-yard reception against Northwestern in the Tigers' overtime win against Northwestern in the Alamo Bowl.
High School Caught 42 passes as a senior wideout in 2007, for 978 yards and 18 TDs, while adding 5 INTs as a defensive back ... Was a 1st-Team All-District honoree as a senior, as well as earning 1st-Team All-Greater Houston, and District 20-4A MVP honors ... Also was a 1st-Team All-District winner on both sides of the ball as a junior, when he caught 35 passes for 760 yards and 14 TDs, while contributing 6 INTs defensively ... Had 21 receptions for 402 yards and 7 TDs as a sophomore, as he earned all-district acclaim on both sides of the ball ... Three-sport standout at Davis High school who was a three-time all-district performer in basketball, and a regional qualifier in track three years, in addition to his football achievements ... Chose Mizzou over TCU, among others ... High school coach - Chuck Arnold ... Personal Parents - Vernon Jackson & Denise Robinson ... MU primary recruiting coach - Brian Jones.
