8/25

From TheWolverine...says he will look at Michigan, but not just because of his father and will also look at schools such as Florida and Texas. Says he may be looking for a change after living in Michigan his whole life and plans to decide after his junior season.

Ann Arbor Huron wide receiver Jeremy Jackson is one junior who will receive an official Michigan offer in the mail this week. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Jackson is the son of Michigan running backs coach Fred Jackson and has grown up around the program -- but that does not mean he takes the Michigan offer for granted.

“I never expected it from Michigan that early," Jackson said. "I didn't really expect it because I was an underclassmen and I wasn't even thinking about school.”

Michigan did not offer Jackson simply because he is the son of an assistant coach, however. The talented wide receiver also has early offers from Florida, Texas, Louisville, Iowa and Minnesota, and projects as one of the top 2010 prospects in the state.

Interesting story with Jeremy. He was leaning towards going to Texas or Florida for a loooong time but then he became good buddies with Miller and Robinson, and couple that with the fact his dad's a coach at Michigan and bam, comment.

11. WR Jeremy Jackson, Ann Arbor Huron (6-4, 186, 4.6, committed to Michigan): The son of Michigan running backs coach Fred Jackson was a marked man in 2008, but acquitted himself well, hauling in 42 receptions for 620 yards and seven touchdowns. His big body and leaping ability have endeared him to coaches searching for a physical pass catcher that is a frequent mismatch in the red zone.
Michigan was among those that offered early, and to some it may have seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would don the Maize and Blue. That, though, was never a certainty in Jackson's mind. Trips to Texas and Florida over the summer -- along with offers from Florida, Iowa, Stanford, and Wisconsin, among others -- proved that he was serious about exploring options. One of the factors that had prevented Jackson from making his decision even sooner was his uncertainty about whether U-M's new offense would put the ball in the air. After learning more about the system and seeing it in action on the field, he is now a believer.
"I know they're going to throw, especially since they've got these good quarterbacks coming," said Jackson. "I'm just really excited about the offense because I know once you get the quarterback for it they're going to be throwing it. So I just wanted to jump on it."
Trieu: "Jeremy has very good size and great hands. As a junior, he showed more ability to out-position defenders and use his body to make tough catches in traffic. His speed is the only question. His game speed looks to be better than his timed speed, so I think he'll find his niche in college."
