SEASON BY SEASON
2020-21: Appeared in one game, playing in eight minutes and dishing out one assist.

2019-20: It was nothing short of a spectacular sophomore season for 'DJ', winning numerous individual accolades en route to the GNAC Championship. DJ was second in the conference at over 21 points a game, and third in free throw percentage (84%). He even made 82 three-pointers, nearly four times as many as any other Blue Jay. DJ demonstrated his greatness by scoring his 1,000th career point in the GNAC title game in just his second season. Thanks in part to Jackson Jr..'s career-high 46 points, the Blue Jays got the better of their in-state rivals in year two, defeating Albertus Magnus, 88-84 in front of their home crowd to win their first GNAC Championship in program history. Saint Joseph won 25 straight games (second longest in D3), was as high as 14th in the national rankings, and played in its first-ever NCAA Tournament game, falling 78-74 to Hobart.

2018-19: Jackson Jr. had a stand-out freshman season, winning the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Rookie of the Year, the D3hoops.com Northeast Region Rookie of the Year (the first player in school history), and was selected to the All-GNAC Third Team. He finished 2nd in the GNAC in assists per game with four (nearly twice as many as the next best Blue Jay). He was second only to Chris Childs in points per game, with nearly 17 per contest. Jackson Jr. uses his quick hands to his advantage, finishing third in the GNAC with 42 steals (1.5 SPG). USJ made it all the way to the GNAC Championship in year one, before losing to in-state rival Albertus Magnus, 81-77.

Before USJ: Jackson Jr. scored 1,988 career points at A.I. Prince Technical High School in Hartford, Conn., including 47 points in one game. He led the Falcons to two conference championships, including a semifinal bid in the CIAC Division III State Tournament in 2018, losing to eventual State Champion Waterford. Jackson Jr. made the All-State and All-Conference Teams three times each, and won the Hartford Courant’s All-Courant Athlete of the Year for Boys Basketball in 2017-2018.
