Get to know new Broncos UDFA WR Courtney Jackson
The Denver Broncos have been looking to give quarterback Bo Nix additional targets going into the 2025 season, both through the draft and through the undrafted free agency ranks. One of the players they targeted was Arkansas State wide receiver Courtney Jackson.
Jackson (5-11, 189 pounds) spent his final two college seasons at Arkansas State after spending 2019-22 at Syracuse University. As a member of the Orange, Jackson led the team in 2021 with 39 catches for 389 yards, earning an All-ACC mention from Pro Football Focus.
Jackson transferred to Arkansas State in 2023, where he was a receiver and a punt return specialist. In 2023, Jackson had a 60-yard punt return and posted a 100-plus-yard receiving game against Texas State. In his Red Wolves career, Jackson had 81 receptions for nine touchdowns and 1,183 yards. As a return specialist, Jackson had 31 attempts to run the ball back, returning the rock for 438 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons.
Since the emergence of wide receiver/return specialist Marvin Mims in the latter half of the 2024 season as a pass-catcher, Denver may be looking to add another return man to the rotation.
K8 News, a local Arkansas news network, did a 90-second profile on Jackson prior to the NFL draft. Check it out below to get to know one of the newest Broncos players:
