The Houston Texans have agreed to terms on a five-year contract with first-round cornerback Kareem Jackson, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

A starter from the moment he arrived in Tuscaloosa, Jackson posted 159 tackles and five interceptions for the Crimson Tide. Jackson broke up 29 passes during his career, and opted to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the 2010 NFL Draft.

The 5-10, 196-pound Jackson ran a 4.4-40 at the Combine, and showed off his athleticism with a 37.5" vertical leap and 9'10" broad jump.

With the Texans losing Dunta Robinson to free agency, Jackson has an opportunity to repeat his college career by immediately stepping into a starting role in the Texans' secondary. Signing in time for camp was his first hurdle, which he and his agent have cleared with ease.
