Jackson is listed as the No. 15 overall quarterback in the 2024 class by the 247Sports composite, as well as the No. 222 player in the country and 32nd-ranked player in Florida. He had offers from schools that included Penn State, UCLA, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
Jackson’s commitment moves Ole Miss to the No. 20 overall recruiting class, per the 247Sports composite.
Patterson is listed as the No. 3 safety and No. 77 overall prospect in the class, and No. 10 in the state. He is entering his senior season at Chaminade-Madonna Prep and had offers from blue-blooded programs of the Southeast, including Alabama, Auburn and LSU, as well as Oklahoma, Ohio State and Notre Dame.
