Hailing out of Blessed Trinity High School and the owner of three Georgia football state titles, Jackson Hamilton is an outside linebacker and three-star recruit who should create a lot of buzz this upcoming fall. At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, Hamilton is ranked as the No. 69 outside linebacker in the class of 2021 and the No. 76 overall player in Georgia.
Hamilton released his top eight schools upon entering his senior season, as he led the Titans to a 14-1 record in 2019.
Including Illinois, Hamilton’s other options are Louisville, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Kentucky, Missouri, Boston College, and Vanderbilt.
