Khyree Jackson

Khyree Jackson #5 of the Oregon Ducks

Khyree Jackson, one of the standout cornerbacks in the Pac-12 last season, emphasized that his toughest competition often occurred during practice sessions. Despite being queried about Washington’s Rome Odunze as his most challenging opponent, Jackson asserted that it was actually Troy Franklin who posed the greatest challenge.

During his tenure at Oregon, Jackson delivered his most impressive season, amassing 34 tackles (with five for loss), including two sacks, seven pass breakups, and three interceptions. Despite sustaining a left shoulder separation and labrum tear during Oregon’s matchup against Washington on Oct. 14, where Odunze excelled, Jackson clarified via X that Odunze’s success predominantly occurred against other cornerbacks.

Reflecting on his performance against Odunze in the Pac-12 Championship game, where Odunze garnered eight catches for 102 yards, Jackson acknowledged his decent play in the first encounter but admitted to feeling overwhelmed by the occasion. However, he expressed confidence in his second matchup, noting that it was a relatively straightforward game for him.

Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 203 pounds, Jackson is among the tallest cornerbacks in this year’s NFL draft class. Despite his stature, he believes he possesses the agility of shorter cornerbacks, which distinguishes him from his peers.

Throughout his collegiate career, Jackson primarily excelled in press man coverage and aims to enhance his performance in zone coverage. His journey to the NFL includes stints at both Alabama and Fort Scott Community College before his successful tenure at Oregon. Despite not being initially qualified for Division I straight out of high school, Jackson expressed gratitude for the path he took, which fostered a fearless mentality on the field.

In conclusion, Jackson emphasized his determination to prove himself against any receiver, regardless of their reputation, highlighting his desire to earn respect through performance on the field.
