Oklahoma State Makes Offer to WR Prospect Michael Jackson

For the second time in as many days, Oklahoma State made an offer to a Class of 2021 wide receiver prospect. Three-star recruit Michael Jackson, from Las Vegas, was offered by OSU on Sunday, joining Louisiana standout Keon Coleman, who was offered on Saturday.

Jackson is a different type of prospect — Coleman is a 6-foot-4 big-bodied receiver, whereas Jackson is a 6-foot burner — but both are in the same class and with similar recruiting profiles. To date, they have a combined 53 (!) scholarship offers (Coleman with 30, Jackson with 23).

Jackson, in his Twitter profile, lists himself as an “all-threat WR.” That claim checks out. Last season, Desert Pines High School used him out of the slot, out wide, as a deep threat … you name it. He’s got quick feet to break free at the line of scrimmage and speed to burst to the end zone.

Here’s one example of that, where he catches it at the line of scrimmage, jukes out the entire state of Nevada and scores, sprinting past at least seven defenders along the way.

And here’s another example of the pure speed. One cut and poof.

That could work at OSU. Heck, that is Tylan Wallace in a nutshell. Jackson runs a 4.49 40-yard dash that flashes on tape in the same way Tylan does.

Jackson is but the latest WR target to emerge for OSU in a class that, to date, has just one commitment. He’s now one of 16 offers for OSU at the position in this cycle alone, a sign that WR is a major priority in the class and that there will likely be multiple targets who wind up signing with OSU in the class to fill needs.

Here’s a look at Jackson’s complete highlight reel from his junior season:
