Kennedee Jackson, a highly-touted 4-star offensive lineman from Lithonia High School, is scheduled to visit the University of Georgia from June 12-14. Jackson, who stands at an impressive 6-foot-8 and 297 pounds, is ranked as the No. 16 offensive tackle and the No. 120 overall player in the 2027 recruiting class. He has also scheduled visits with several other prominent programs, but reports suggest Georgia is high on his list.

Why it matters

Securing top offensive line talent is a critical priority for championship-contending college football programs. Offensive linemen are responsible for both pass protection and creating running lanes, making their impact vital to a team's overall offensive success. Georgia's pursuit of Jackson reflects their emphasis on building a dominant offensive front.

The details

Jackson, who has played both offensive and defensive tackle for Lithonia High, recorded 15 tackles and 5 tackles for loss in 8 games last season. In addition to his upcoming visit to Georgia, he is also scheduled to visit Georgia Tech, LSU, Florida, North Carolina, and Auburn in the coming months. Despite his busy visit schedule, reports indicate that Georgia is considered a 'dream school' for the Lithonia native.
