Jackson Dunn, CF
6'2" 210 pounds
L/L
17-years-old
Seattle, Washington
(Rainier Beach High School)

Jackson Dunn is a 17-year-old center fielder from Seattle, Washington. Dunn is currently a three-sport star at Rainier Beach High School. He is one of the top rated quarterback/athlete prospects in the country, but his best sport is baseball, where he is projected to go in the top two rounds of the 2011 MLB Amateur Draft.

It is not known yet if Jackson will play football or baseball, but several sources have said that he prefers baseball and will sign if he's picked early.

Jackson finished his high school career by shattering every baseball record in the books. In four years of playing varsity, he hit .422 with 24 home runs and 122 runs batted in. He also stole 88 bases in 91 attempts and had 29 triples. He also pitched and finished his career with an 18-4 record.

On the next level, Jackson has received comparisons to Jason Heyward. His power is developing, but it's his speed and defense that have scouts drooling. He hits for good contact but his plate discipline could use a lot of work.

Jackson comes from a very poor background and was raised in one of the most crime-ridden areas of Seattle. He has had a couple of run ins with the law and local area coaches have said that they really question the kid's character and drive.

"He's a bit of a loose cannon," said one unnamed source. "He's one of the most talented athletes to ever come out of the Seattle area, but I don't think he'll succeed due to his background."
