Asked by The Advertiser if he is a Warrior, Jackson yelled: "Yes, I am!"
Jackson, who is 6 feet 2 and 210 pounds, played for Nebraska as a freshman in 2005. He can run 40 yards in 4.35 seconds.
Saying he was seeking a "change of scenery," Jackson left the Cornhuskers. He is attending a junior college in Washington.
He will enroll at UH in August, and will be immediately eligible to play in 2007. He will have three seasons of eligibility.
Jackson said he chose UH because of the Warriors' wide-open offense.
"They spread it out, and I like that," Jackson said.
As a Pasco (Wash.) High senior, Jackson was a USA Today Super 25 player. He also played defensive back, and was named as the nation's No. 2 safety prospect by recruiting expert Tom Lemmings.
In his career at Pasco, Jackson rushed for 4,929, averaging 10.7 yards per carry.
