Jackson was a Duke fan growing up and has also talked to coach Jon Scheyer once.
“Duke was my favorite team growing up,” he said. “I’ve talked to Duke but they haven’t offered me yet.”

“For sure Texas Tech,” responded Jackson when asked what school was making him a priority.

“I’m a selfless player,” he said. “I’m going to be coachable and I’m going to try and get my teammates involved and try and lead the team and play defense.”
