FAYETTEVILLE — BY DUDLEY E. DAWSON He may not have exactly been West Philadelphia born and raised, but junior wide receiver Jadon Jackson might as well be The Fresh Prince of Bentonville West.
Jackson (6-1, 170), one of four 2019 Arkansas in-state prospects with Razorback offers, grew up in York, PA., just outside of Philadelphia.
He moved to Arkansas before he entered the ninth grade to live with his grandma when his mom basically thought there were some guys who were up to no good and started making trouble in his neighborhood.
“She just wanted me to be in safer place and my grandma had lived in Centerton for 11 years and so I ended up going to Bentonville West,” Jackson said after playing in a Southwest Elite 7-on-7 tournament game on Friday morning.
