Tre Jackson Commits to Iowa State

After visiting Iowa State over the weekend, Columbia guard Tre Jackson announced his decision to commit with the Cyclones. Jackson was considering many schools that would include Florida Gulf Coast, South Carolina, Southern Mississippi, Buffalo, Winthrop, Murray State and College of Charleston. The decision was somewhat of a surprise, turning down an offer from South Carolina.

Even more surprising of the decision was that Jackson’s father works at the University of South Carolina. Jackson’s father is the Director of Character and Life Skills at the school, as Tre will bypass the family reunion and play in the midwest. Jackson admits that the Cyclones did a good job convincing him by highlighting the NBA potential Jackson possesses, along with how his ‘never-back-down’ style of play fits with their program.

The three-star prospect enters his senior season at Blythewood High, located in South Carolina. He enters the year as the 39th best point guard in the country, averaging 20 points in his junior season. He also saw an average of about four assists per game, leading Blythewood to a state title.

Cyclone Commits

For Iowa State, this marks their third prospect for the 2019 recruiting class that has committed to the program. The Cyclones were able to grab two forwards, making Jackson the first point guard for Iowa State’s recruiting team. Iowa State also got Luke Anderson and Marcus Leech, both from out of state.

The third commit from Jackson leaves no more room for the Iowa State recruiting roster. However, reports seem to point in the direction that sophomore guard Lindell Wigginton is a solid candidate to enter the NBA draft following the upcoming season. If that’s the case, then the Cyclones will have a fourth spot open for any interested recruits.
