Jackson is the second high-profile player to leave Cardinal Hayes this offseason after big man Steven Solano transferred to La Lumiere (IN).
He’s also the second addition this week for OSL after Dellquan Warren, a 6-1 combo guard and former Rutgers commit.
A five-star prospect, Jackson played this summer with the USA U19 team that finished fourth in the FIBA World Cup.

The Tar Heels added a point guard for the 2023-24 season when New Jersey native Elliot Cadeau, who played for the Swedish National Team this spring, reclassified and enrolled this summer.
Jackson wishes him the best but doesn’t think they’ll play together in college now.
“I think it was great,” Jackson said. “For him it was the best decision from what he told me, so I’m proud of him for that. Hopefully he gets to go to the NBA after his first year, so I’m rooting for the best. Hopefully everything goes right for him. And I’ll be watching, I’m cheering for Elliot.”
