Jackson Terrell Jackson Terrell 6'8" | PF West Ashley | 2027 State SC leads off the open practice evaluations from my stop at West Ashley High School. Jackson looked as good as I have seen him over the past few months. Part of that can be attributed to health, but he was simply more positive, active, and dominant in practice Friday. His day-to-day consistency is crucial to helping their young bigs learn and improve, but there will always be opportunities for him to impact the game around the rim because of his size and athleticism.

One of the state’s best big men will be in action at Peach Jam this week. Jackson and Middleton Hoops Elite earned their way to North Augusta thanks to an excellent regular season in the EYCL, so despite falling just short in the play-in tournament, they still get to compete on the big stage during the live period. Terrell came out with several solid performances in the first few days of games, averaging 10.7 PPG and 8.7 RPG through three games. Jackson looked excellent as a rim runner and glass cleaner, showing a knack for working for early position in the post and a desire to convert second-chance points. SC State, Coastal Carolina, and Arkansas State were the first to offer him.

One of the 843 prospects who improved their game the most between this season and last season is Terrell. He improved from 8.4 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game in 2024-25 to 13.1 points per game and 7.2 rebounds per game in 2025-26. Jackson still has plenty of room for growth, too, so once he hits his ceiling, look out.

Terrell keeps making improvements on his game while getting his body into shape. Jackson can really run the floor and shows to get up and defend a shot from time to time.

Terrell has soft touch while showcasing a jump hook from around the paint area. He averaged 8.4 ppg and 5.3 rebounds for the Wildcats this season.

Jackson made the move up from #53 to #25 this time around in this latest edition of Stock-Risers.
