Jabari Mack is one of the nation’s premier wide receivers in the 2026 recruiting class.
The blue-chip pass-catcher is also making noise away from the football field.
Amid a break-through junior campaign Destrehan (La.) High School this fall, the four-star WR inked a “significant” six-figure NIL deal with Leaf Trading Cards. ABX Elite Sports Management and Lionheart Sports Agency fostered the agreement.
Mack is the No. 12-ranked WR in the Rivals250 for 2026. Mack’s NIL deal with Leaf Trading Cards is believed to be valued as the highest by any non-quarterback underclassman.
Major college football programs around the country covet the electric playmaker from Louisiana, who tore up a handful of college camps at LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, and Texas A&M last summer.
After turning in a strong season working as an offensive athlete and receiver, Mack’s recruitment has shifted into a recruiting battle headlined by the in-state Tigers, Buckeyes, Aggies, and Longhorns.
Mack is the No. 58 overall player in the Rivals250 in next year’s recruiting class.
After an in-season evaluation of Mack, here’s what Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman wrote about Mack.
“The 6-foot, 190-pound pass-catcher is a menace working after the catch and in the middle of the field. Mack turned a handful of screens and in-breaking routes into chunk plays — making those grabs in a torrential downpour — including a 50-plus yard touchdown reception. He also operates well in shorter fields able to win contested catches and work in traffic. Mack’s speed is also a weapon for getting over the top of defenses.
Mack tested out of the water this off-season, including clocking a sub-4.4 40 time at LSU camp. His combination of speed, elusiveness and physicality were on display. Mack made the most of each reception.”
