Through his first two years at Arkansas, Koilan Jackson has had a tough time staying healthy. He’s caught just one pass for 13 yards in his career, but the redshirt sophomore showed promise this spring.

Jackson took to Twitter this spring, stating that he’s finally 100 percent and he wasn’t lying, posting three receptions for 43 yards during the Red-White Game which was good for the second-best number on the team.

After the game, Chad Morris had some glowing remarks regarding his sophomore wide out.

"“Koilan is a guy that’s had a good spring,” Morris said. “Consistency has been his struggle, but he has responded as of late. I think the importance of him as we meet with all our players individually is to be consistent like he finished spring.”"

It’s fine to be skeptical about the talented young wide out because he hasn’t been healthy much in his two years, but if the spring game is any indication, along with the rest of his impressive spring, Jackson is on track to break out in year three.

The Razorbacks are losing some dogs in the receiving corps which could give Jackson a real opportunity to see the field in 2019. He looks ready to make the most of it.
