Top 4-Star Defensive Back’s Official Visit to SMU Could Change the Game—Here’s Why It Matters
When you’re talking about standout high school football talent in Texas, Montre Jackson’s name inevitably crops up—and for good reason. This four-star cornerback outta Lakeview Centennial in Garland is turning heads statewide, with SMU right there in the thick of the chase. Being just a stone’s throw from SMU, Jackson has had no shortage of chances to check out the campus firsthand, and recently he made his official visit official for the weekend of June 5. What’s clear is how much SMU’s coaching staff, especially Rhett Lashlee, values him—Jackson’s been buzzing about the frequent contact and the genuine interest from the Mustangs’ side. The kid’s also serious about making an impact early, especially close to home, clinging to the promise of SMU’s upward trajectory. But it’s no walk in the park — with powerhouses like Texas and Texas Tech also firmly in pursuit and lined up for visits in the coming weeks, the race for Jackson’s commitment is heating up. Meanwhile, SMU’s coach Lashlee is eager to push the Mustangs back into the national Top-25 recruiting conversations, anchored by early commitments like QB Malachi Zeigler and defensive lineman Amari Vickerson. It’s a compelling story unfolding right in Texas, as each program vies for a piece of this coveted puzzle.
