LADARRIUS JACKSON 2016 SDE JUCO original was a 2014 D-end coming out of Parker HS in Alabama who committed to play for UAB, but things went south an the 6'4" 245lbs strong side d-end wound up at Hinds JUCO in Mississippi.

Despite living in Alabama Jackson grew up a UFlorida fan an developed a relationship with Chris Rumph when he was the dline coach at Bama.

But obviously Rumph didn't feel Jackson had the goods needed to play for BAMA since he was not offered, and also conspicuously there is not a UF offer or interest currently for Jackson this 2nd time around.
An now the 2016 JUCO player is high on both UM & AL Golden an hopes to be part of the 2016 according to an article by canesports.

With the current commits Miami has for the 2016 class in addition to UM's roster depth and the glaring need to add quality interior dlinemen (DT & NT) I would be very surprised to see Miami accept Jackson's commitment. It would take at least year to add the 40lbs needed to slide him over to play an interior position and that would be if he was willing to red-shirt that year, not to mention who knows if he has the mentality needed to play in the interior (because it is a completely different type of angry violent personality that plays DT/NT).
Here are his Hinds JUCO highlights from 2014
