Donte Jackson, who is one of UGA's top remaining targets for this year, knows that most people expect him to sign with LSU.

After all, the 4-star cornerback is from New Orleans.

Jackson will announce between LSU, UGA and USC on Jan. 21.

“Everybody expects me to go to LSU,” Jackson told the AJC. “But if I was going there, I’d be committed. It’s not that hard to just commit. But I think every team has a chance to get me, and I don’t think LSU stands above the others just because they are the home team.”

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Jackson is known for his blazing speed and athleticism. He broke down his three finalists to the AJC:

Jackson has already taken a recruiting trip to UGA, and he’s scheduled for an official visit to UGA on Jan. 16. He’s tentatively planning to go to LSU on Jan. 23, although that date could change.

“Everybody around my town is supportive,” Jackson said. “Wherever I go, they will be happy for me. So I think everybody is going to be cool with me if I pick an out-of-state school.”
