Arkansas transfer wide receiver Ketron Jackson commits to Baylor

Baylor has landed a massive commitment out of the trasnfer portal as Arkansas wide receiver Ketron Jackson‍ gave his pledge to the Bears following his official visit this weekend.

This past season Jackson finished with 277 yards and three touchdowns on 16 receptions. As a freshman he finished with 97 yards and a touchdown.

Out of Royse City (TX) High School, Jackson was a four-star prospect in the 2021 class and was rated as a top 200 prospect in the nation accoriding to 247 Composite.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound prospect totaled 103 receptions for 1,730 yards and 17 touchdowns during his junior and senior seasons. Baylor recruited him heavily out of high school but he ended up in Fayetteville.

Jackson was set to be the Razorbacks top receiver going into next season and were caught off guard by his decision to enter the transfer portal especially after Arkansas Head Coach Sam Pittman said that Jackson would get the starting slot role in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl which was occupied by Jadon Haselwood this season.

Baylor needs to address the wide receiver position in the portal and now have done so. Jackson gives this roster a unique playmaker downfield along with a prospect who can create yards after catch. Jackson is an ideal fit for Jeff Grimes’ offense and will likely start on the outside next season.

This was a really good pick up. He has the build to be a physical receiver and get off the LOS. He also has pretty good speed and athleticism. Already as good as anyone we currently have.

Yep. It's the new age of rosters changing every year. That's why there's no reason to get upset when someone announces he's transferring. It's all part of the new order.

Huge pick up where needed. Some CB/S help and I'll be happy

Credit where credit is due, that is a very good pick up. Lanky, tall receiver with very good top end speed

  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Auburn
  • Baylor
  • Georgia Tech
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Kansas
  • LSU
  • Mississippi State
  • Nebraska
  • Ohio State
  • Ole Miss
  • Texas
  • Texas A&M
  • Texas Tech

  • Kendall Briles must be unhappy, but I'm glad to have Ketron coming to Waco.

    It looks like we got Crystal balls on 247 for another BYU offensive lineman.

    Would be another solid pick up given his familiarity with the system. BYUs offensive line graded very high in pass protection this year

    Great pick up - he'll be a starter for sure. A combo of him, Baldwin, and Presley will be a threat.

    There's our #1 WR, probably. Sounds like it blindsided Pittman who expected Jackson to be one of their primary guys. High end speed, good hands, plenty of eligibility, great pickup. The portal finally pays off for us.

    A great pickup, but one that will have little impact if we aren't able to obtain a portal signal caller that can get the ball to him.

    Really big pick up now completely overshadowed. Doesn't matter if the rest of the team grows into next year.. need a qb for the modern game. Program success is now a lottery ticket on Shapen. Could go either way.
