Dontavious Jackson still in contact with the Aggies

Football Recruiting: 2016 Aleif Elsik LB Dontavious Jackson

The 6-2, 240-pound Houston area defender was one of the first in-state linebackers the Texas A&M football program offered out of the 2016 recruiting class. The Aggies later landed Tennessee product Tyrel Dodson in June — putting Jackson and A&M's chances in jeopardy as Dodson also projects inside.

From that point until last weekend it was hard to imagine Jackson in an Aggie uniform.

Perhaps things changed after A&M's impressive season-opening win over Arizona State on Saturday.
