At about 6-foot-3, Jackson is adept at moving his feet laterally and can stay in front of small guards, but also uses his length and leaping ability to rebound out of his area.
“I’ve heard from Virginia Wesleyan and Roanoke a little bit,” said Jackson, who says he has a 2.4 GPA at the moment. “They came in to see me play, and are trying to see me progress over the year.”
One thing that could be underrated about Jackson’s game is his jump shot. He demonstrated that he is capable of knocking down spot up threes, but needs to continue to work on his consistency. Another thing that Jackson needs to work on is his ball-handling.
“I can fit in pretty well,” said Jackson of how he sees himself transitioning to the next level. “I’m just bringing the fire to the team. Showing them I can play with them.”
Jackson believes he can fill a variety of roles at the next level. Specifically as a defensive stopper and a rebounder who can stretch the floor. What are his goals?
“My team goals are to try and win states. Personally, I’m trying to go to college and go where I can fit in best.”
