Indiana made a major addition to their wide receiver room on Christmas Eve.
Appalachian State wideout Makai Jackson has signed with the Hoosiers for 2025 according to multiple reports.
As a junior for the Mountaineers in 2024, Jackson finished with 46 catches for 745 yards and five touchdowns. He earned third-team All-Sun Belt Conference.
In two seasons with Appalachian State, Makai Jackson amassed 73 catches for 1,163 yards and seven touchdowns. He also ran five times for 90 yards and a score. He had five catches for 49 yards against Curt Cignetti and James Madison in 2023.
A product of Levittown, Pa., Jackson also contributed on special teams, with nine kick returns for 165 yards and two punts for 24 yards.
Jackson was a teammate of Indiana receiver Elijah Sarratt in 2022 at Saint Francis. That season he recorded 85 catches for 991 yards and nine touchdowns. Added 13 rushes for 44 yards and three kickoff returns for 90 yards and one touchdown.
The 6-foot and 200-pound Jackson has one-year of eligibility remaining.
Indiana’s receiver room is developing into a strength of the 2025 team. Jackson will join returning veterans Sarratt, Omar Cooper, Jr., and E.J. Williams. They’ll be catching balls from new quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who announced his commitment to IU earlier on Wednesday.
