Brad Jackson looked the part of a dual-threat quarterback for Texas State in 2025, rushing for 744 yards and 17 touchdowns on 174 carries while throwing for 3,223 yards, 21 touchdowns and just seven interceptions on 352 attempts. The model's early career-value board has him at No. 137 for the 2028 class, a projection built off that single season, since no public board has put a number next to his name yet.

Working in his favor: age. Working against him: how many boards rank him top-100 and position role purity.
The grade is the 0-to-1 score the board sorts by — it only means something next to the rest of this class, which is why the rank above it is the number to quote.
Not enough to go on yet — no public board ranks him and there's no production or testing data to anchor a career projection.

Roster-based need returns once the 2027 season is played — grading this year’s teams on last year’s depth chart would be guessing. What’s knowable now: the teams holding picks around No. 137, and which of them already spent premium capital at QB in the 2027 draft.
Gold means no recent premium investment at QB — the cleaner fit on paper. Grey means they already spent one.
