Closer Look: Justin Jackson

Averaging nearly 32 points and nine rebounds during his senior year of high school, Justin Jackson shined among the Class of 2014’s recruits.

Homeschooled in Houston while playing for the Homeschool Christian Youth Association (HCYA), Jackson helped lead his team to a national championship and claimed 2012’s Sullivan Award – given to the top home schooled player in the country.

After four years of domination with HCYA, the combo guard-forward suited up at the 2014 McDonald’s All-American Game. Scoring 23 points on 11-of-12 shooting, the Texas native was the game’s top scorer and earned co-MVP alongside current Philadelphia 76ers big man Jahlil Okafor.
