As Expected

(Clarion Ledger)-Wide receiver A.J. Jackson, one of the most highly ranked recruits in the 2007 Ole Miss signing class, will not play football for the Rebels this fall.

In 2005, he was teammates with current Rebel quarterback Brent Schaeffer. That season, Jackson had 43 catches, for 667 yards and 16 TDs.
