Khyree Jackson
Updated: 12/11/2025, 5:46:09 PM Wikipedia source
Khyree Anthony Jackson (August 11, 1999 – July 6, 2024) was an American football cornerback. He played college football for the Fort Scott CC Greyhounds, Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Oregon Ducks. The Minnesota Vikings selected him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, as the 108th overall pick. Born in Washington, D.C., Jackson won a state championship with Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in 2018. He temporarily quit football after dropping out of Arizona Western College but returned the next year, switching from wide receiver to cornerback partway through his year at Fort Scott. He transferred to Oregon after two seasons at Alabama, earning All-Pac-12 honors in 2023. After being drafted by the Vikings, Jackson was killed in a traffic collision in Maryland.
