Auburn legacy Shedrick Jackson now has a Tigers offer.

As the nephew of Auburn great Bo Jackson, receiver Shedrick Jackson of Hoover (Ala.) has always wanted a Tigers offer.

On Thursday, he got his wish.

The 6-feet-1, 195-pound Jackson is a high 3-star in the 247Sports rankings. He's the No. 56 receiver nationally.

Jackson spoke via telephone Thursday afternoon first with Auburn offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, then with Tigers coach Gus Malzahn. It was Malzahn who gave him the offer.

"I was pretty excited," Jackson said. "He was just telling me how I did good at The Opening camp in Atlanta. He went back and watched the film. He said he wanted to offer me a scholarship and that he wanted me to be a Tiger."

Jackson immediately placed a call to his cousin Morgan, who is Bo Jackson's daughter. Then, he called his mother. Both were thrilled, he said.

"It's a great opportunity," Jackson said. "Now, I've got to work even harder."

While helping Hoover (Ala.) win a state championship, Jackson amassed more than 40 receptions for 600-plus yards.

Some highlights:

-Four catches in the state final.

-102 receiving yards vs. Phenix City (Ala) Central.

-Five receptions for 81 yards in the state semifinals.

-A 40-yard catch in a playoff win over Madison (Ala.) James Clemens.

-A 64-yard touchdown catch vs. Thompson (Ala.)

-Team-high 51 receiving yards vs. nationally ranked Allen (Tx.).

At this time, Jackson claims no leaders.

"I'm looking at them all the same," Jackson said.

Jackson said he "probably" will attend Auburn's Big Cat Weekend recruiting event June 3.
