The tailback, who’s originally from Burleson, Texas, rushed for 576 yards on 136 carries in 2023 and will have one year of eligibility remaining at Iowa State.
He’ll join returners Abu Sama, Carson Hansen, and A.J. Harris as well as 2024 signee Dylan Lee in the running backs room this season.
Jackson committed to Iowa State out of the portal over offers from Ohio, UTEP and East Carolina.
