Highlights:
Jackson caught 30 passes for 329 yards and six touchdowns in his junior season. He hauled in three receptions for 69 yards and a score in a 27-9 playoff victory over Stafford, helping the Vikings record their first postseason win since 1990.
Receiver Harrison Jackson of Round Hill, Va., who caught 36 passes for 700 yards as a senior and helped Loudoun Valley to its first postseason win in 21 years.
Realistic Outlook:
Fits well into Doug Martin's new offensive scheme of short quick passes. Harrison will provide depth at wide receiver, but can't imagine he will be much of a factor in 2012 given the depth at the position. Most likely heading for a red shirt, Harrison will be hoping to line up at WR with Joel Zoungrana, Marcus Grant, and Justin Simmons. Not a lot of information out on this kid, so it's hard to get a read on what he is capable of.
