USC Trojans wide receiver Michael Jackson III has committed to transferring to the Georgia Bulldogs. Jackson, a junior, recorded 17 catches for 146 receiving yards, and one touchdown in 2023.
The 6-foot, 200-pound wide receiver from Las Vegas, Nevada, has one season of eligibility remaining. Jackson caught passes from star USC quarterback Caleb Williams the past two seasons. He had a career-high 17 receptions for 236 receiving yards, and four touchdowns last season.
Jackson is Georgia’s football’s third transfer wide receiver this recruiting cycle. He joins Vanderbilt London Humphreys and Miami’s Colbie Young. Jackson is a former three-star recruit.
Georgia football fans, coaches and media are fired up to land a commitment from Jackson!
