Brennan Jackson, a three-star defensive end prospect from Temecula, Calif., announced on Twitter this evening that he has verbally committed to play for Washington State.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is rated three-stars by the 24/7 Sports Composite and also held offers from Arizona, Cal, Iowa State, New Mexico, San Diego State and others. He's also rated three-stars by Scout.com, who ranks him the No. 6 defensive end in the West and the No. 3 defensive end prospect in the state. Rivals.com gives him three-stars.

WSU, led by primary recruiter Ken Wilson, was the first program to extend an offer to the Great Oak High School standout, who took an unofficial visit to the Palouse back in April. He has also visited Arizona and UCLA this cycle. USC and UCLA have yet to offer.

As a junior last season, Jackson recorded 72 tackles, eight for a loss, including four sacks and a forced fumble. He also played tight end last season, though statistics were unavailable. You can see his highlights below.

Overall, it's another great get for a WSU coaching staff, whose loading up on defensive prospects in the 2018 recruiting cycle. Jackson is the fifth defensive prospect to commit thus far, joining safety Miles Green-Richards, safety Gatlin Grisso, linebacker Kedron Williams and linebacker Victor Terry. WSU now holds 9 verbal commits.
