One of the top uncommitted defensive ends in the Class of 2022 will make his commitment live Tuesday on CBS Sports HQ. Kenyatta Jackson, a four-star defensive lineman out of Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Hollywood, Florida, will make his choice at 2 p.m. ET. You can watch the announcement live in the video at the top of this page, on the CBS Sports App or via your connected device (Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV).

Ohio State, Alabama and Oklahoma rank among Jackson’s finalists with Ohio State considered the favorite to land the dynamic defensive lineman, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball projections. 

Listed at 6-foot-5 and 231 pounds, Jackson helped lead Chaminade-Madonna to back-to-back state championships at the AAA classification. He posted more than 20 sacks over his first three years of high school. 247Sports Composite ranks Jackson as the No. 78 overall player in the nation and No. 7 edge defender in his class. 

Jackson has a lengthy legacy in college football. His grandfather Rudy Barber, and uncles Rudy Barber Jr. and Kantroy Barber, all played in the NFL. 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins had this scouting report on Jackson: 

Built almost like an action figure with thick neck, broad shoulders and round biceps. Exceptional reach owning over an 80-inch wing span. Big hands. Should be able to eventually get up to 260 pounds or more. A disruptive edge player that uses his power and quickness to make things extremely difficult for opposing offensive tackles. Plays with a terrific forward lean, keeping his momentum downhill. Heavy hands allow him to displace blockers and get after the quarterback. Doesn’t disappear against the run. Squeezes his way through gaps and into the backfield with nimble lateral movements. Gives a persistent effort in pursuit, working his way across the field to drop a ball carrier. Has a bit of an upright posture to him, but keeps a low pad level and knows how to consistently find leverage.

If Jackson commits to Ohio State, he would be the 15th member of the Buckeyes 2022 class and seventh top-100 recruit. Jackson’s addition would push Ohio State to the No. 5 class in the nation despite the fewest commitments of any team in the top eight.
