Height: 6-4. Weight: 320.
Projected 40 Time: 5.50.
Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

7/18/23: If Jackson stays healthy and returns to Ohio State for 2024, he will end up being a multi-year starter with a ton of experience.

2. Alabama image Tyler Booker*, G/OT, Alabama
Height: 6-5. Weight: 335.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2025): 2-3.

5. Clemson image Marcus Tate, G/OT, Clemson
Height: 6-5. Weight: 325.
