Jackson plays for powerhouse high school Roman Catholic in Philadelphia. He is a top-85 player in the class of 2026, ranked as the No. 1 player in PA for the class and the No. 83 player overall according to 247’s Composite Rankings.

The 6-foot-7, 185-pound wing is a four-star and holds offers from Florida Gulf Coast, Arizona State, Vanderbilt, Villanova, Saint Joseph’s, Auburn, Penn State, La Salle, Xavier, Marquette, Miami, and others. He also has interest from schools such as Michigan State, Georgetown, UCLA, Notre Dame, Florida, Virginia Tech, Pitt, and more, according to his Instagram page.

Pitt does not have any commitments locked up in the class of 2026. The Panthers brought in just one high-school player in the class of 2025, adding Omari Witherspoon out of Washington, D.C. to the roster for this upcoming season.

In other HS recruiting news, Pitt was reportedly in for the No. 1 player in PA on Monday, Luca Foster.

Foster is a 6-foot-5 wing prospect in the class of 2026 out of Archbishop John Carroll in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Foster took a visit to Pitt this past season.

Foster is ranked as the No. 1 player in Pennsylvania and the No. 33 player in the nation in the class of 2026 according to 247 Sports’ Rankings.
