UVA is the latest school to jump on the hype train for the fast-rising Jackson, who has received offers from seven major conference schools in the last 10 days. The offer list for the 2023 guard now includes Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, Kansas State, Minnesota, DePaul, Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, St. John's, California, VCU, and a few others.

A 6'4" guard from Richland, New Jersey, Jackson played for St. Augustine Prep, but recently announced that he will play his final season of high school basketball at South Kent in Connecticut.

I would like the thank the ANC coaching staff for allowing me to grow as a player & as a young man. The lessons they taught me shaped me into who I strive to be everyday. With that being said I’m excited to share I’ll be finishing my academic and athletic career at South Kent. pic.twitter.com/CK7jgIRZua
