JACKSON MEEKS NEWS

Declares for NFL Draft Meeks has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, Ashley Wenskoski of CNY Central reports.

Impact Meeks will not use his available redshirt. Perhaps the decision makes sense considering what he achieved during 2024. Meeks went from logging two-digit yards for three consecutive seasons to recording a thousand-yard season, which also included 78 receptions and seven touchdowns. The wideout will bank on NFL teams believing that his breakout year can translate to professional success, even if it was in under 15 games.

Another big effort in bowl game Meeks gathered in 5 of 8 targets for 110 yards during Friday's 52-35 win over Washington State.

Impact Meeks finished the campaign with three straight games totaling 110 receiving yards on the nose, adding a pair of touchdowns along the way. The senior has a couple of seasons with three or fewer games played during his time at Georgia, so it's quite possible he will be eligible to return in 2025 to give the Orange a dynamic duo, assuming he and Trebor Pena both return.

Eclipses 100 yards vs. UConn Meeks recorded seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 110 yards during Saturday's 31-24 victory over Connecticut.

Impact Meeks continued to see a huge portion of targets, and this week, he made the most out of them. The wideout has been stellar this season as one of Kyle McCord's favorite targets this fall. He'll look to close out the regular season on a high note against Miami.

Impact Meeks finally scored his fifth touchdown of the season after a three week drought. He continues to get peppered with targets, although his 38 yards were his third-lowest output this season. Meeks remains a dynamic threat for the Orange, but he's been rather inconsistent in terms of weekly production.

Huge day in loss Meeks logged seven receptions (on 11 targets) for 105 yards during Saturday's 37-31 loss versus Boston College.

Impact Last week, Meeks was inefficient despite seeing double digit targets. This week, the receiver hauled in seven of 11 targets, rewarding quarterback Kyle McCord for looking his way so often. The receiver has been rather boom or bust week-to-week, but he remains one of the most targeted pass-catchers in this explosive Syracuse passing attack.

Inefficient on 10 targets Meeks reeled in 5 of 10 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 38-31 overtime win over Virginia Tech.

Impact When you're thrown the ball 10 times, you would like to put up more than 36 yards. Still, Meeks continues to rack up targets in this offense, and though he's been streaky from a yardage and touchdown standpoint, he's a fantasy outburst waiting to happen because of how often his quarterback Kyle McCord throws him the football.

Modest day in embarrassing loss Meeks tallied five receptions (on nine targets) for 53 yards during Thursday's 41-13 defeat versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Meeks tallied five catches, but his output had little effect on Syracuse's drubbing at the hands of Pittsburgh. The wideout remained a steady part of this passing game, but that mattered little considering his quarterback threw five interceptions, three of which were pick-sixes.

Huge day through the air Meeks hauled in 11 of 14 targets for 116 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-17 win against North Carolina State.

Impact Meeks' 11 catches and 14 targets were both season-highs. The wideout has also now scored a touchdown in each of the past four games, and has double-digit targets in each of the past three. Translation? Meeks is quickly becoming quarterback Kyle McCord's favorite target, and given how dynamic the gunslinger has been this season, that's a great place to be for the wideout.

Scores in third-straight game Meeks hauled in 8 of 11 targets for 67 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 44-41 overtime win over UNLV.

Impact Meeks' touchdown was his third in as many games. The wideout has also been peppered with targets the past two weeks, with 23 over the past two games combined. After a quiet start to the season, Meeks has asserted himself as one of the top pass-catchers in this explosive Orange offense.

Monster day through the air Meeks logged 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 161 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-14 win against Holy Cross.

Impact Meeks had put together respectable performances leading up to the Holy Cross game, but the receiver exploded in Week 5. His 12 targets were easily a season high, and he certainly made the most of them. Meeks has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back games and has amassed 22 targets over the past three games. He's slowly becoming a more critical piece of this passing attack.

Impact Meeks scored his first touchdown of the season against Stanford. He accrued another five targets, which is a good sign for his production moving forward. Syracuse's passing offense has been very productive through three games, and Meeks has certainly been a benefactor.

Sees target share increase Meeks had four receptions (on five targets) for 32 yards during Saturday's 31-28 victory versus Georgia Tech.

Impact Meeks saw five targets after only seeing two in the opener, which is a sign he could be developing more chemistry with quarterback Kyle McCord, or the coaching staff is making an effort to get him more involved. Either way, that's good news for the wideout, who will look to continue to uptick his production in Week 4 against Stanford.
