Each week, TexasHsfootball.com will search to find talented football players who are under the radar in the recruiting landscape. These players are not on the big recruiting board, but are about to burst onto the scene.
Hidden Gems will bring exposure to young high school football players who have next level talent, but haven’t been heavily recruited. This week we are in Benbrook, Texas and our Gem of the Week is running back Quintan Jackson.

WHAT MAKES HIM A HIDDEN GEM?
Jackson has the speed and quickness to score from any distance and any angle on the football field. Quintan makes defenders miss in the open field and has the power to break tackles.
Benbrook High School was a 1st year varsity program in 2016. Jackson proved he was ready to step up and lead the Bobcats. We spoke with Jackson after a summer workout at Benbrook.
“I had a great year and I’m out here working to get better this summer with my team. We are focused on improving our overall record in 2017”.
Expect big things from Jackson in 2017.
