Four-star receiver Radarious Jackson commits to Tennessee, continuing Vols' in-state surge
Four-star wide receiver Radarious Jackson committed to Tennessee football on Monday, giving the Vols another coveted in-state recruit in the 2025 class.
Jackson is a 6-foot-2, 195-pounder from Sheffield High in Memphis.
“When I went on the visit and I got to see more of the facilities and how the players practice and the coaching staff and how they will use me in the offense,” Jackson told VolQuest.com. “It was very good for my play style to see myself someday play at Tennessee.”
He was Tennessee’s 2023 Class 3A Mr. Football and The Commercial Appeal's Offensive Player of the Year after accounting for 32 touchdowns as a rusher, receiver, passer, returner and defender last season.
Jackson chose UT over Auburn, Mississippi State and Ole Miss among dozens of scholarship offers. He is ranked the No. 29 wide receiver and No. 263 prospect overall in the 2025 class by the 247Sports Composite.
Jackson broke out in 2023 with an explosive junior season. As a receiver, he had 30 receptions for 696 yards and 13 TDs. As a rusher, he had 782 yards and nine TDs. As a passer, he had 340 yards and seven TDs. On defense, he notched 63 tackles and eight interceptions, including two returned for TDs. And he also returned a punt for a TD.
Jackson is UT’s fourth in-state commitment in the 2025 class, joining five-star quarterback George MacIntyre (Brentwood Academy), four-star defensive lineman Ethan Utley (Ensworth) and three-star wide receiver Joakim Dodson (Collierville).
MacIntyre is Jackson’s teammate on the Tennessee Select 7-on-7 team, and he had a hand in recruiting him to the Vols.
