3. Austin Jackson, 4-star OL/DT (Phoenix, AZ)

USC is in very good position to pick up the No. 1-ranked offensive lineman left on recruiting boards. Jackson is listed as an offensive linemen by most recruiting services, but he also played as a defensive tackle in high school.

Having played on both sides of the ball is sure to make Jackson much more wanted by universities. He possesses a versatility that other players at his position may not have. Being 6-foot-6 and 280 pounds, being able to play both sides of the ball and being that big could be a deadly combo.

The Trojans will once more be competing with Arizona State and Washington. Much like they are for the talents of Isaiah Pola-Mao. This time, USC seems to have a decent advantage over the other schools. Jackson visited USC back in November, and has them at the top of his list.

It appears that Jackson will be dawning the USC hat come National Signing Day. Jackson is ranked 21st overall and as the fifth-best offensive linemen by 247Sports.
