GILES JACKSON NEWS

Limited receiving yards in loss Jackson caught seven of 10 targets for 59 yards during Friday's 21-18 defeat to Rutgers.

Impact Jackson logged double-digit targets for the first time since tallying ten in the season opener versus Weber State. However, he was once again limited to a short-yardage receiving role, averaging 7.5 yards per reception and 4.7 yards per target over the last two weeks. Jackson has still been the clear No. 2 receiver for quarterback Will Rogers, as these two have connected for 34 receptions (on 39 targets) for 401 yards through five games. However, top wideout Denzel Boston has commanded the majority of scoring opportunities with seven receiving touchdowns this season. Expect Jackson and Boston to continue serving as the top duo ahead of their fellow receiver in Cal transfer Jeremiah Hunter. The Huskies will likely face their toughest stretch of back-to-back opposing defenses with a home game against Michigan followed by a road matchup at Iowa up next.

Logs 16 yards in conference opener Jackson reeled in three of six targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 24-5 victory versus Northwestern.

Impact Jackson had easily his worst game of the season with season-lows in catches and receiving yards. The 5-foot-9 senior caught all but one of his 23 targets over the first three games, so it's not shocking that his production finally came back down to earth. He still finished with the team's second-most targets Saturday, though 6-foot-4 wideout Denzel Boston was the clear-cut top option with seven catches (on eight targets) for 121 yards and two touchdowns this season. Quarterback Will Rogers should still heavily rely on Jackson and Boston moving forward through Big Ten play, including this coming Friday's matchup against Rutgers.

Stars in losing effort Jackson hauled in all eight targets for 162 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-19 loss versus Washington State.

Impact Jackson had one of the best performances of any wide receiver in the Big Ten in Week 3, logging the first 100-yard receiving performance of his career. The 5-foot-9 receiver also logged his first touchdown of the season with a 31-yard catch early in the first quarter, which wound up being the Huskies' lone touchdown of the game. Astoundly, he's also now caught all 24 of his targets through the first three games of the season. However, he still logged fewer targets than Denzel Boston (10) on Saturday. Jackson and Boston have been far-and-away the top pass-catchers for Rogers this season, as both have totaled exactly 24 targets. While the 6-foot-4 Boston is a bigger go-to option in the red zone for Rogers, this significant target share for both wideouts should net plenty of scoring options to go around. The Huskies' offense will look to bounce back during next Saturday's conference opener versus Northwestern.

Top target for second game in a row Jackson compiled five receptions (on six targets) for 66 yards during Saturday's 30-9 victory versus Eastern Michigan.

Impact Jackson led the Huskies in receptions for the second week in a row, as he's now caught all but one of his 16 targets so far this season. The 5-foot-9 senior also leads the team in receiving yards with 164 through two games. However, he's yet to find the end zone, as bigger-bodied wideouts Jeremiah Hunter and Denzel Boston appear to have stepped into roles as the top receiving options in the red zone. The Huskies also seem to have established a solid rushing game with Jonah Coleman, which could continue to limit the red-zone scoring chances. Jackson will look to continue racking up targets this coming Saturday in what should be a tougher matchup versus in-state rival Washington State.

Catches 10 passes Week 1 Jackson gathered in all 10 targets for 98 yards during Saturday's 35-3 victory versus Weber State.

Impact Jackson immediately connected with transfer quarterback Will Rogers, who went 20-for-26 passing for 250 yards in his Washington debut. The 5-foot-9 wideout logged new career highs in both receptions and targets, and he neary recorded just the second 100-yard receiving performance of his four-year career. He was also just one of two Washington receivers to log more than two targets Saturday, as sophomore Denzel Boston logged six catches on nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. With the Huskies needing to replace the entire core from last-year's extremely prolific passing offense, it appears that Jackson and Boston could be in line to serve as the clear go-to options moving forward. It will be worth monitoring if this target share evens out a little more in what should be a tougher matchup versus Eastern Michigan in Week 2.

Won't play Saturday Jackson (redshirt) isn't in uniform Saturday's game versus Washington State, Roman Tomashoff of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Jackson's absence shouldn't come as a surprise, as the senior wideout looks to maintain his redshirt status for 2023. It seems unlikely he will suit up for the PAC-12 Championship Game against Oregon on Dec. 1.

Likely to preserve redshirt Coach Ryan Grubb says Jackson is likely to be on the sideline for Saturday's game against Washington State which would preserve his redshirt, Christian Caple of The Athletic report...

Impact Jackson has already played in four games this season, so if he were to play in Saturday's game he would have to burn his redshirt. Jackson caught his only target in last week's game against Oregon State for 10 yards. If Jackson does not play the rest of the season he should be able to return to the team as a fifth-year senior in 2024.

Records reception Jackson (undisclosed) gathered in their only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 22-20 win versus Oregon State.

Impact Jackson has 13 receptions for 103 yards (7.9 averaged per catch) and one touchdown across his four games in 2023. Now, the question is if he plays against Washington State on Nov. 25. Having already logged four games this year, Jackson playing against the Huskies would foil his chances of obtaining a redshirt for another season of college football.

Questionable vs Oregon State Washington coach Ryan Grubb indicated Monday that Jackson could "potentially be back" for Saturday's game against Oregon State, Mike Vorel of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Jackson was unable to go last week against Stanford but appears he will be available and should get involved in the passing attack with Jalen McMillan (leg) out again. The senior wideout has only appeared in two games so far this season and will look to get going against a very exploitable Trojan defense.

Impact Grubb also mentions the team will take it one game a time moving forward to when Jackson will play.

He has totaled nine receptions for 74 yards and one touchdown across two games played.

Impact Giles was not spotted during pre-game warmups in what could be part of the plan for him to take a redshirt this season. He has only played during the last two weeks so he is still eligible to take his redshirt and return next season if he only plays in two more games this season.

The 5-foot-9 receiver will look to build off a strong debut for next week's match against Arizona State.
