A very intriguing prospect coming off a very strong spring, strong forward that can be very physical, great size on the perimeter, very dominant at times and can be tough to contain, consistent as a catch-and-shoot player, one to keep an eye on for Anderson this weekend

The physical tools and strength off of the bounce is typically what really stands out when watching this 6’5″ wing. However, he has really started to showcase some shot-making ability this spring and summer. We saw him shoot it well at EYBL Session III and then again on Friday where he went 5-9 from deep and finished with a double-double of 23 point and 10 rebounds. Jackson will be back at Marion, where he spent his freshman season, after playing at Anderson as a sophomore.

The physical tools standout right away when you watch Jackson play. He has always been able to dominate his peers with physicality and punish them around the basket. However, the 6’5″ wing is starting to showcase some more finesse and perimeter skill to pair with his physical tools. Jackson has had a good spring with Meanstreets on the EYBL Circuit knocking down some catch-and-shoot 3’s, rebounding well at his position, and continue to produce consistently. He made a significant jump up to #22 overall in our prospect rankings.

This versatile wing from Anderson High School continues to serve as a valuable piece for Meansteets 16u. His ability to play several different positions allows him to find his way on the floor often. Jackson has the size to slide up to the 4 where he can still rebound while also stretching the floor as a catch-and-shoot threat or whipping bigger defenders off of the dribble. However, he is also skilled enough to play in the backcourt. He did a little bit of everything out in Kansas City.

This 6’5″ wing was able to use his size and physicality on the perimeter to hold his own against some of the best competition in the area. Jackson scored 16 points in a hard fought loss against Indy Heat
16u. He was one of the stars throughout the Battle of the Brands for UNRNKD 16u. Look for him to have a big spring and summer. Very intriguing Class of 2028 prospect from Anderson High School.

There is some impressive young talent coming through the Anderson Indians program right now. Jackson, a 6’5″ sophomore guard, was the star on Tuesday night as the Indians beat Pendleton Heights 53-51 at the buzzer. He finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds in the game.

A sophomore transfer from Marion High School, Jackson steppe dup in a major way in his second game wearing an Anderson Indians uniform. The 6’4″ big guard poured in 24 points to help lead Anderson over Prep Hoops Indiana Class 1A #1 Liberty Christian 64-59 on Saturday night.

Size and physicality are two traits that stand out right away when evaluating this guard/wing. Jackson is bigger than most of his peers at his position standing at 6’5″ with a strong build. He is unafraid of playing through contact and can really bully other guards on his way to the basket. After a strong freshman season at Marion High School, Jackson will join a talented sophomore class at Anderson High School this season. He is now ranked #42 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2028 Prospect Rankings.
Really good wing that impacted the games on both ends on the floor. Defensively he’s a switchable defender that can guard the perimeter with his length and also has the strength and size to battle down low. Offensively he’s a versatile inside-out piece that can really shoot it. Comfortable putting it on the floor and getting to his spot. Willing passer that looks to get teammates involved.
Smooth scoring wing/forward that really showcased his versatile skill set at the Prep Hoops Indiana Sophomore ID Camp. His inside-out game made him a matchup for most of the opposition. His ability to score from all over the floor from knocking down perimeter shots off the catch and off the dribble, to posting up his matchup and scoring efficiently down low. Defensively he was a big time rebounder and post presence that showed he can block or alter shots without fouling.
