Sam Jackson V, a former Cal player, was added by Auburn as a transfer for the 2024 class. Jackson, a five-game quarterback for the Golden Bears the previous season, signed a wide receiver contract with the Tigers.
Jackson transferred to the Golden Bears prior to the 2023 season following two years at TCU. He will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Tigers and is the third transfer, and second transfer receiver, signed by the Tigers, joining former Georgia State receiver Robert Lewis and former Kansas defensive lineman Gage Keys.
Jackson will be one of many newcomers in the receiver room for Auburn next season, as the Tigers also added four scholarship receivers in the freshman class in addition to the two transfers.
The 5-foot-11-inch, 195-pound rising junior played against the Tigers in 2023, passing for 129 yards in Berkeley, California. Playing a new position, he will suit up for the Tigers to face his former team on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024, at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
