Kansas State football picks up commitment from Ole Miss transfer receiver Jadon Jackson
Kansas State's football team added some depth on offense Saturday night when former Ole Miss wide receiver Jadon Jackson announced on social media that he had committed to the Wildcats.
Jackson, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior from Centerton, Arkansas, played three years at Ole Miss and has one year of eligibility left, plus a COVID-19 season, should he so choose.

Jackson, a former three-star recruit, signed with Ole Miss out of high school over offers from a number of Power Five offers and appeared in 22 games over three seasons, catching 15 passes for 171 yards and one touchdown.
K-State already returns starting receivers Malik Knowles and Phillip Brooks, backups Kade Warner and Keenan Garber, plus touted redshirt freshman RJ Garcia.
Jackson received an offer from K-State early last week and then committed during a weekend visit. He will be the fifth player on K-State's 2022 roster to arrive via the transfer portal and the first since the end of spring practice.
He joins quarterback Adrian Martinez and linebacker Will Honas from Nebraska, plus safeties Josh Hayes (North Dakota State by way of Virginia) and Shawn Robinson (Missouri).
