One of the top defensive tackles will end his recruitment on Thursday.
Antwuan Jackson is set to announce his commitment during a ceremony at Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Ga. Jackson will choose Auburn, Ohio State or Georgia at approximately 2 p.m. ET.
"I can't go wrong with any of them," Jackson said. "They are all great schools and have great coaching staffs."
Jackson, who is ranked the No. 10 defensive tackle, has taken official visits to Auburn and Ohio State. He was in Columbus on Nov. 21-23 and Auburn on Dec. 11-13. Jackson did not take an official visit to Georgia.
"If I were to get hurt my freshman year, I want a place I would be happy at the rest of my time in college," Jackson said.
Auburn and Ohio State have been the two mainstays atop Jackson's list of favorites. The Tigers have remained in the top two despite the absence of a defensive coordinator. The position still being open won't work against the Tigers on Thursday.
"Coach (Gus) Malzahn is going to find the right fit for Auburn, so that's not really going to factor into my decision," Jackson said.
Jackson is coming off a senior seaon in which he helped lead Cedar Grove to a 11-2-1 record and a run deep into the state playoffs. He finished with 96 tackles, 69 solos, 10 sacks, 52 tackles-for-loss, seven forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 14 games.
Rivals.com ranks Jackson the No. 108 overall player in the 2016 class.
