It’s a double edged sword. If he doesn’t start right away he’s gone after one year. If he starts and plays well he’s gone after one year unless his folks have so much money that NIL cash is unimportant.
We can worry about that when/if it comes. Enjoy good players.

With all the discussion on the bball board this is my state of mind. One of the reasons I love college sports so much is getting super excited about high-school recruits and following them through the program and seeing if they live up to their perceived potential. Kinda takes the shine off when the best case scenario is we get one or two really good years and they leave...

Bro. Legitimately thought the same line as I was typing up my post. Great minds.

I would argue the worst case scenario is we get one or two really good years and they leave.

That’s a damn good worst case scenario.

He moved to Montana with offers from Florida State and Oregon as a freshman. He was the top rated frosh QB in the country. His parents are former soap opera/hollywood stars. He is one of the top QB recruits in the country….
He's done a little acting himself

Actually worst case is we get all hyped up about them and they never even make it to campus. Seems we've seen that a few times recently...

Big news for sure, love to see it.

Makes for a very interesting QB room/battle these next couple of years.

That’s overly negative, even for me.

If he doesn’t play here and transfers, where’s he gonna go? It would mean he’s likely not good enough to play here, so honestly, not a big deal.

Whoa!!!! That's huge. Watched him only once this year, but came away thinking he's the real deal and lived up to the hype.
I renewed my season tickets this morning, so obviously that was what made him change to MSU. :-)
I just did the same thing - I though it was me !!

That's a really interesting article. What really stands out to me is that Jackson was recruited by big name colleges AS AN 8TH GRADER! That's really impressive.

Wonder what made them relocate to Kalispell? This could have multiple benefits for MSU moving forward. Will he major in film studies following in his dad's footsteps?

Everyone hates the wealthy out-of-staters relocating to Montana until they happen to have a big-time QB recruit in the family who's willing to stay in the state to play college football! Anyone know of any actors with kids who are really good linebackers, we could use a few of them too...

In many many ways, the transplants giveth and the transplants taketh away. Look at the bright side on this one, NO transplants ever want to move to North Dakota.


The State of Montana is Bobcat country.
missoula....still just 20 miles from Montana.

I know a director that was a good linebacker/defensive end at MSU. He posts here once in a while.

No really much "more info" in the article, so don't worry if you can't access it.

I believe one parent lives in Montana and the other was in Oklahoma. Probably a reason that he came, could be football opportunities, or could’ve just been personal.
