Episode Details

Kaleb Jackson, a four-star running back who once dazzled as a top-10 recruit, is getting a fresh start in Chapel Hill after underwhelming years at LSU. Once averaging over five yards per carry in 2023, his role dwindled by 2025, leaving him with minimal touches. Now in North Carolina, he’s poised to thrive in a new system, leveraging his elite physical tools and SEC experience. While not expected to start, Jackson is slated to be a vital part of the Tar Heels’ backfield rotation in 2026 — and the coaching staff believes this change of scenery could finally unlock his full potential.
