There was little question Jackson would be named Penn State’s “Most Improved” player following the 2009-10 campaign as he posted a career-best 17 double-figure scoring games and became a consistent scoring threat while raising his season average from 4.5 ppg as a sophomore to 9.5 ppg. Jackson shot a career-best 49.8 percent from the floor as his confidence soared and he became a much more aggressive offensive player. With an active body, long arms and a terrific feel for the game, Jackson is an all-around asset on the floor and also earned the Lions’ “Mr. Defense” honor last year. He will look for an even better senior campaign as he brings 70 career starts and 103 career games of experience into 2010-11. He stands 344 points shy of becoming Penn State’s 30th 1,000-point scorer and averaged 11.3 ppg in Penn State’s last 15 games of 2009-10. Though possessing a lean, wiry frame, Jackson has long been one of the strongest Nittany Lions posting a teambest 25 reps in the 185-pound bench press. He combines the ability to battle effectively around the rim in the physical Big Ten with the agility to guard on the perimeter. He will also be at the core of the Nittany Lions’ leadership as he looks to get Penn State back to the post-season. Jackson earned his degree in recreation, park and tourism management over the summer after completing an internship in the Penn State Athletic Department in which he worked daily with the events, marketing and athletic communications departments.
