  Draft Scout by Conference









  Shedrick Jackson has been a key part of Auburn's receiving corps the last two years, but the junior out of Hoover may finally be on the verge of becoming an integral part of the Tigers' passing attack. After spending much of the last two seasons excelling as a blocker at receiver, Jackson has found a new sense of confidence as an all-around receiver looking to carve out a role for himself in new offensive coordinator Chad Morris' system. "Shedrick Jackson is a guy that's really coming along," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "He came off the end of last year and is just a really confident guy who is having a really good camp." Jackson, a former three-star recruit out of Hoover and the nephew of Auburn legend Bo Jackson, has appeared in 20 games during his first two seasons at Auburn but has recorded just four receptions for 46 yards and a two-point conversion.

The 6-foot, 201-pounder was lauded as being a polished receiver when he signed with Auburn in 2018, but much of his early playing time was earned due to his toughness and willingness to be a physical and effective perimeter blocker in the run game. That physicality continued to shine through as a sophomore last season, particularly down the stretch as he started in each of the Tigers' final four games of the season - against Georgia, Samford, Alabama and Minnesota. That late surge into the lineup, which included a career-long 25-yard reception against Georgia, provided a welcome confidence boost for Jackson, who has carried that into the offseason and through fall camp. Now the junior is looking to assert himself as the fourth receiver behind the productive veteran trio of Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz and Eli Stove. - Birmingham News
