2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about BRENNAN JACKSON:
Washington State | HT: 6037 | WT: 264 | 40 time: 4.69 | Arm: 3234 | Hand: 0934 | Wing: 7834
Four year starter. Second-team All-Pac 12 in 2023. Has played six seasons counting a redshirt year. Has desired height and decent physical attributes for the edge although wingspan is a little short. Has played wide nine from a two and three point along with three and five technique. Plays with an incredible motor that doesn’t quit until the whistle. Can be found making plays downfield after rushing the passer. Second effort plays are common. Flashes quickness at the snap but his power engaging is what is notable. Gets his hands into blockers with knee bend and a solid pop to gain separation. Gets off blocks with push pull or stun and go. Consistently makes plays on the edge and can sift inline on an inside run. As a pass rusher is more of a one-speed power rusher that lacks finesse. That said he’s been effective driving through a tackle’s outside shoulder and bending the corner to the quarterback. Relentless in pursuit he stays with it even when blocked and has made several second effort plays. He lacks an array of moves and just charges as hard as he can with a bull rush and bend and squeeze if squared up. He’s always near the ball with his charge and second effort but can get locked up by a powerful athletic tackle. His hard charging style can cause him to lose his gap and get taken out of the play. Will need to develop more in the pass rush to be effective in the NFL. Teams may see him differently, but his motor and power give him a shot as a rotational player at defensive end.
