OVERALL

Domani Jackson is a long, lean, and explosive cornerback prospect with the ideal frame for the position. A technician with solid athletic traits, Jackson offers versatility in both press and off coverage, along with the ball skills needed to make plays at the next level.

Jackson excels in both press and off coverage, demonstrating good lateral quickness, smooth backpedal technique, and strong hand usage. He possesses the necessary burst and recovery speed to close gaps and stay in phase with receivers. His ball skills are a highlight, as he consistently locates the ball, shows patience, and plays through the reception point without panicking. However, he has a tendency to lose leverage in press and can be a bit tight in his breaks, leading to separation out of breaks.

Jackson is a secure tackler who is willing to contribute to run defense. While he may not deliver massive hits, he is reliable in getting ball carriers to the ground. His physicality and length allow him to engage blockers and contain plays to his side.

Domani Jackson projects as an early-round pick with the potential to develop into a starter. His technical skills and athleticism make him a valuable asset. Still, he must refine his breaking technique and improve his ability to maintain leverage in press coverage to maximize his potential at the next level.
