Big Board Rank: #87 · Day 2 Value
Darrell Jackson Jr. emerged as Florida State's defensive anchor after transferring from Auburn following his sophomore season, immediately establishing himself as a disruptive interior presence in the ACC. The Georgia native possesses an ideal blend of size, athleticism, and technique that allows him to excel as both a run-stuffer and pass-rusher from multiple alignments. His draft stock has steadily climbed throughout his senior season as scouts have taken notice of his ability to command double-teams while maintaining gap integrity. Jackson's combination of violent hands, powerful lower body drive, and surprising lateral mobility makes him a scheme-versatile prospect who projects as a Day 2 selection with immediate rotational upside and long-term starter potential in multiple defensive fronts.
