At Saginaw Buena Vista High School he was named two-time Michigan Class C Player of the year and was a four-time all-state honoree. He then played four years of basketball under Coach Mike Brey at the University of Notre Dame, where he was named Captain of the Fighting Irish as a senior and earned numerous BIG EAST, CBS, and Notre Dame awards for his play and leadership.

"CC provides so much for its athletes and coaches, and I love everything about the Catholic League. It's the toughest conference in the state of Michigan so being a part of that excites me as well," said Jackson when asked in his initial interview, "In a lot of ways CC is like a mini version of Notre Dame. Notre Dame is my second home, so for me this feels like coming home."
