Michigan Football: 5 players from 2019 class that can play right away
WR Giles Jackson
If Jim Harbaugh elects to use Giles Jackson in the correct way, he could make an immediate impact for the Wolverines and could do more to impact the offense than any other incoming player outside of Charbonnet.
Jackson is just 5-foot-9 and 179 pounds, so he’s not a big guy by any means, however, he’s electrifying with the ball in his hands and in the slot, the could be a dangerous weapon for the Wolverines.
So much to like about Giles Jackson. Great feel for space on the field. Ridiculous feet and legit speed.

Michigan doesn't have guys like this. And Michigan has to find roles (not just gimmicks) for guys like this. pic.twitter.com/eCwsO0AsV0
Hopefully, Michigan football uses its imagination when deciding how to use Jackson, because jet sweeps and things like that won’t be enough to take advantage of what he can do. He should be in the slot and while he can get some screens and even maybe some draws out of the backfield, Michigan needs to throw him the ball and make defenders not only have to cover him but tackle him as well.
