Michael Jackson News: Looking like WR1

Jackson is looking like the Boilermakers' go-to wideout in their fall camp, Tom Dienhart of On3.com reports.

In a sea of new wideouts looking to establish themselves for an unestablished Purdue team, Jackson is looking like their best option. As of 2025, the redshirt senior's best season is from 2022, when he logged 17 receptions for 236 yards and four touchdowns. If the top wideout suggestion holds, Jackson could more than improve his career-high output and establish himself as one of college football's better receivers.
