and versatile talent Semaj Jackson. Checked in with him on Thursday and not only has he filled out to about 180 pounds, his comfort in working between safety and nickel spots appears to be as evident as ever. Jackson says he is looking forward to taking a trip to WKU soon, likely for an official visit in June, and it's the program in communication most right now.

Should a decision come in the next month or so, I like where the Toppers stand.
