How ex-Lake Dallas DB Josh Jackson went from a low 3-star recruit to a potential first-round NFL Draft pick

When Josh Jackson committed to Iowa in 2013, weeks before his senior football season at Lake Dallas, college coaches who visited the high school wondered why Jackson's recruiting stock wasn't higher.

Of the five Football Bowl Subdivision offers Jackson received, Iowa was the only "Power Five" school who wanted him.

Now, he's one of the most prized prospects in this year's NFL Draft.

On Thursday night at AT&T Stadium, the 6-0, 196-pound cornerback could be one of 32 men selected in the first round. According to ESPN, Jackson is the 27th-best player available in the draft.
