Between his season at Spire Academy and then into his spring with PAC Elite, it has been a stock boosting year for Jahkil Jackson. The 6’3” guard has continued to showcase all his translatable tools and highly impactful play for the next level.

With Spire Academy this past season, Jackson averaged 16.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks to earn first team all-conference in the Ohio Prep Conference. This high level of play has only continued this spring with PAC Elite. This was especially true recently at the NY2LA Spring Extravaganza as one of the top guards of the entire tournament.

With all this, Jackson has seen a real boost in his recruitment recently. This includes receiving interest from programs on multiple levels as well to his first offer. Recently at the end of April he was offered by Park University, an NAIA school in Missouri. He has also been receiving interest from both division one and two level programs.

“My three-level scoring ability and my will to defend all positions,” Jackson said about what he can bring to the college level. Jackson is an athletic and versatile guard with good size at 6’3” and a college ready build. During the Spring Extravaganza tournament, he showed good playmaking ability with the ball as a physical downhill driver as well as being able to run the point. He was consistently playing with good energy both defensively as well as on the glass to rebound extremely well from the guard spot. There are few 2026 guards available in the region that can impact a game in as many ways as Jackson does.

 “As soon as the right opportunity presents itself,” Jackson said on when he is looking to make his college commitment.
