Scout.com bumps up rating of latest UNLV linebacker recruit

Linebacker Princeton Jackson, who committed to UNLV on Sunday, already was rated by Rivals.com as a three-star football prospect. Now Scout.com has given him four stars.

Scout offered the following assessment of Jackson (6 feet 2 inches, 230 pounds), who played at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas:

"The heart and soul of the Blinn defense. He is quick off the snap and has the speed to track down the swiftest running backs sideline to sideline. It is hard to say that being too aggressive is a bad quality for a linebacker, but this guy goes after it so hard that he sometimes over pursues a play, but when things are clicking he is almost unstoppable. He is a run stuffing specialist and will make plays in the backfield."
