Will take starting reps in spring Jackson will take starting reps in the spring, Zach Abolverdi of On3.com reports.

Impact Dallas Wilson (foot) remaining out presents a golden opportunity for Jackson to log first-team reps. After being granted a medical waiver for 2026, his focus shifts to getting back to his old ways. Before only a 13-yard reception across his last two seasons, Jackson's 2023 campaign saw him record 21 catches with 251 yards and one touchdown.

Returning for another season Jackson has been granted a medical hardship for return for the 2026 season, Kevin Brockway of The Gainesville Sun reports.

Impact Jackson has been granted further eligibility after playing in just one game this season due to a knee injury. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver has played in just two games in the Gators' last two seasons. He'll take a 24-307-1 career statline across four years into his fifth collegiate campaign.

In uniform Saturday Jackson (knee) is dressed for warmups ahead of Saturday's matchup with South Florida, Scott Carter of FloridaGators.com reports.

Impact After sustaining a season-ending knee injury in last year's opener, Jackson remained limited heading into the 2025 season and ultimately missed last week's game against LIU. However, it appears that the senior wideout is ready to go in Week 2. In 2023, Jackson hauled in 21 receptions for 251 yards and a touchdown.

Remains limited Jackson (knee) did not play during Florida's 55-0 win Saturday against LIU.

Limited to open camp Jackson (knee) underwent a second surgery in June and is now limited to start camp, Kevin Brockway of The Gainesville Sun reports.

Impact Jackson missed the final 12 games of last season after tearing his ACL in September, and injury that required a second surgery in June. Despite all that he is limited to open up fall camp. It's unclear if he will be ready to start the season but it's certainly good news that he's practicing in some capacity.

Not a full participant early Jackson (knee) isn't participating fully in Florida's spring practice, per Gainesville.com.

Impact Jackson is reportedly limited to agility drills early in the Gators' spring practices and is donning a non-contact jersey. The wideout, who caught just one pass for 13 yards last season, suffered a season ending knee injury in Week 1. He was looking to build on a 2023 campaign that saw him reel in 21 catches for 251 yards and one score. Now, he'll look to do the same a year later, but his lingering knee injury doesn't help matters.

Out for season Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, Jacob Rudner of 247Sports reports.

Impact Jackson sustained a season-ending knee injury during Florida's season opener against Miami. The 6-foot-3 wideout was poised for a larger role with the offense this season after totaling 21 receptions for 251 yards and one touchdown with the Gators last fall. Jackson's absence will make other targets like Elijhah Badger, Aidan Mizell and Marcus Burke more favorable fantasy options for the rest of the season, with head coach Billy Napier talking up Burke's "phenomenal week" of practice leading into Week 2.

Out Week 2 Jackson (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with Samford, Graham Hall of 247Sportsreports.

Impact Jackson, who logged one reception for 13 yards on three targets during Florida season opener, will not appear in the Gators' showdown with the Bulldogs this weekend. The 6-foot-3 junior wideout figures to play a large role in Florida's passing game, but his absence could clear the way for Elijah Badger, Marcus Burke and Aidan Mizell to see more work.
