Kentucky is in middle of SEC recruiting battle for Ja'Keem Jackson

Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola cornerback Ja’Keem Jackson received an offer from Kentucky on Jan. 28. At that point, the defensive back prospect was unranked, and the Wildcats looked like a prime candidate to land the rising defensive back.

Things can change fast in college football recruiting.

After taking visits to UCF, Florida State, USF, and Tennessee in the spring, Jackson has seen his recruitment blow up. The 6-foot-1 cornerback prospect has seen offers roll in from Penn State (April 19), Rutgers (April 19), Miami (April 20), Michigan State (April 23), Louisville (April 28), Georgia (May 3), Alabama (May 3), Auburn (May 4), Vanderbilt (May 9), Arkansas (May 10), South Carolina (May 10), Iowa (May 13), Purdue (May 13), and Florida (May 20).
