The Jackson Olin Mustangs’ put up a really good game against the Gardendale high school Rockets. The defense worked very hard throughout the whole game, but came up short in the loss against the Rockets. Jackson Olin had a kind of defensive tablet that was making huge plays for the Mustangs. Let’s take a look into some of these rising defensive prospects for the Jackson Olin defense.
Jourdin Crawford Jourdin Crawford 6'3" | 290 lbs | DL Parker | 2025 State AL , No. 95, DL
This kid has got to be one of the strongest guys I have seen so far. Crawford was doing some things on the field that put him in a very good position to make tackles for this Jackson Olin defense. Crawford was demonstrating very good techniques, hand placement and angled pursuits during this game. This kid is such a monster at the defensive line position that the opposite team needed to double-team him in certain situations. Crawford is so athletic and has the ability to be one of the state’s top defensive linemen.
Good Visit with @HailStateFB .

Jonathan Allen, No.3, Edge Rusher
This kid was such a fast edge rusher for the Jackson Olin defense. This kid was Hawking down anyone that had the football in their hands with such aggression and passion to make a play. This kid is a top prospect in the state, hands-down, and he has the size, speed, and football IQ to be in the talks for the state’s top edge rusher. Jonathan Allen was my favorite part of watching this Jackson Olin defense. I just felt his presence every time he made a tackle or beat a top-ranked offensive tackle on the Gardendale football team off the edge. This kid is a magnificent piece to the puzzle for the Mustang defense. The fact that he is only a junior shows me, from what I have witnessed, that he will most definitely be a huge problem for offensive linemen later this season going into the playoffs and also for next season as well.

Bacari Kennedy, No.38, DE/LB
For someone to be filling the gaps with no problems is Mr. Kennedy here. Kennedy was one of those players that was always on the inside of the play no matter what. Even if the play was declared dead, Kennedy would be right beside the ball in his pursuit lane to the ball. This kid is an athlete. He can be an outside linebacker or a defensive end. That means jabbing and pressing up on an offensive tackle in the trenches. Watching Kennedy during this game showed me that he is a true baller for the Jackson Olin High School mustang defense, where he looks at every opportunity he gets coming off the ball as an opportunity to make a play or break a play. Kennedy is a 6 foot-1, 230-pound cannon that comes downhill very fast and aggressively to take on whomever has the ball. This kid is another one of those guys that will light up and become a top player in the state of Alabama for the Jackson Olin Mustang football program.

Offensive Overview
During the game against the Gardendale Rockets, Jackson Olin’s offense got off to a slow start.The Jackson Olin Mustangs gradually moved the ball in the direction they desired as the game progressed. This offensive group had it upside down but made a really big play to keep them in the game for a chance to win and take down the Gardendale Rockets on their homecoming night. The offense was led by a group that wanted it very badly to come out with a victory. With the help of these names that I am about to list, they kept their hopes alive during this prestigious matchup. Here are my Jackson Olin offensive playmakers in action against the Gardendale high school rockets.
Raykwon Goldthwaite, No.74, Tackle
Raykwon is a 305-pound offensive tackle for the Jackson Olin offense who stands 6 feet 8 inches tall.This kid is very tall and strong and moves like a skill player on the offensive. While watching this kid play, I have noticed that he is a lineman who runs down the field and finds more people to block during a play to create more lanes for whoever has the ball. This kid was putting up a good fight with Gardendale’s best defensive lineman, Kelby Collins Kelby Collins 6'5" | 250 lbs | DL Gardendale | 2023 State AL . During his battle with top defensive lineman Kelby Collins Kelby Collins 6'5" | 250 lbs | DL Gardendale | 2023 State AL , he showed a sense of staying under control and using his technique and power to make good blocks against him. This kid is already picking up offers left and right and will soon sign with his school of choice later in the year.

Rashad Sager, No. 6, WR
Rashad Sager is a 6 foot 4 inch, 200 pound wide receiver for the Jackson Olin offense. This kid is massive. Rashad is a very long wide receiver who has a smooth route running ability and soft hands when catching the ball. This kid also has a vertical that reaches for the stars. This kid is only a class of 2023 athlete for the Mustangs. This kid also has great technique coming off the ball and also good pump fakes to get open for passes. I also noticed that Rashad uses his football IQ very well when the quarterback scrambles to get open and comes back towards the ball for a big time catch.
Cornelius Jennings, No.53, OL
Cornelius Jennings is another offensive lineman that stood out in the game versus the Gardendale High School Rockets. Cornelius is a very stout lineman for the Mustangs. This kid was making blocks look so easy with the way he was playing in this game. He was using the right kind of technique and hand placement to allow him to get good leverage and positive movements on the defensive linemen on the Gardendale football team. This offensive lineman is one of the top linemen in the metro and city area of Birmingham, Alabama. Jennings creates space for the ball carrier to run by pushing the defense of linemen vertically into the secondary. This kid shows so much intelligence, toughness and work ethic when he plays the game that separates him from everyone else.
