Kahleil Jackson

After being listed as an athlete on Florida’s roster the past two years, Kahleil Jackson is officially listed as a wide receiver for the 2022 season.

Jackson is a converted high school QB that had 66 touchdown passes in his high school career.

He has undergone a massive bulk up in Gainesville. Jackson was listed at 6-3, 185 pounds during his freshman year in 2020. He is now listed at 214 pounds, making him Florida’s third heaviest WR out of the 18.

Jackson has only seen the field twice in his two years at Florida. But he comes from a bloodline of former Gators that make him an intriguing prospect.

His grandfather, Willie Jackson Sr., was one of the first African-American players on scholarship for Florida. His father, Willie Jackson Jr., played for Florida in the 90s.
