Steele (Cibolo, Texas) defensive end Mark Jackson started high school as a basketball player, but went out for the football team his freshman year after some urging from then-coach Mike Jinks, who guided Steele to the Class 5A Division II state title in 2010 and is now associate head coach at Texas Tech.
Four years later, Jackson will finish his high school career as one of the top 15 weak-side ends in the nation, with a commitment to Texas A&M and at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.
Jackson received his honorary jersey Tuesday when the Selection Tour presented by American Family Insurance came to Steele.
