Jordyn Jackson's Basketball Journey | She's Next

When COVID-19 shut everything down, Jordyn Jackson kept working. The Washington D.C. area guard used the lockdown to train intensively, and her game transformed. By the time play resumed, she had elevated from promising to elite.

Jackson credits her sister for inspiring her to pursue basketball. Now at St. James Academy, she trains in world-class facilities under high-level coaching. Her dynamic scoring ability earned a scholarship to Maryland, where she will stay close to home while competing in the Big Ten.
