The four-star senior led Christian Brothers to the DII-AA semifinals, averaging 17.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. The big, strong guard has shown the ability to slash, post up smaller guards, and knock down midrange jumpers. 

Jackson's performance with Team Thad on the summer EYBL circuit helped him attract the attention of major programs like Kansas and Texas. 

There are plenty of local connections on the list, with Penny Hardaway-coached Memphis making the cut. Tony Madlock, who was an assistant on Hardaway's staff at Memphis is now head coach at South Carolina State, the only HBCU on the list. Former Whitehaven coach Faragi Phillips is an assistant at Vanderbilt. 

Jackson is the top-ranked senior prospect in the Memphis-area. He is one of four four-stars in the state, along with Cane Ridge forward Brandon Miller, Hamilton Heights forward Felix Okpara, and Knoxville Catholic guard BJ Edwards.
