Re: Eddie Jackson
Mentioned in passing in the above article, but it should be highlighted that he is the younger brother of Demar Dorsey. Those who follow recruiting closely will remember Dorsey from about three years back. He was a five-star recruit with a long felony record and academic issues to boot. He signed with Rich Rod at Michigan, but UM wouldn't admit him. He then tried to get in at Louisville, but the Clearinghouse ruled him ineligible.
Obviously Jackson has oodles of talent -- you don't knock around 7A competition in Florida if you don't have the goods -- but academics are going to be an uphill battle here.
The good news is he has already scored an 19 on the ACT, and has a couple of more chances left. Have to check the Sliding Scale again, but even a 2.3 core GPA might be enough to pass muster.
