Isaiah Jackson – PF

Rating: 5-star, #17 Nationally, #4 ranked PF 

Height/Weight: 6’9, 190

Hometown: Geneva, OH

The Detroit native who now plays for the famed Spire Academy was UofL’s first 2020 scholarship offer. The talented power forward is seen as an MSU lean and currently plays with Spartan commit, Rocket Watts.

For his size, Jackson runs the court well and possesses strong shot blocking ability. He’s a long, athletic player that has many of the physical intangibles that would fit the mold of a UofL big.

Jackson has the ability to play both forward positions but looks to be best suited as a PF. Once he develops his offensive repertoire combined with his elite athleticism, Jackson will be a two way force.

Learning from Sutton, Nwora, Williamson, and Withers could be an ideal situation, for Jackson. Jackson has already received scholarship offers from Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, Arizona, Georgetown, and Arkansas. Expect him to land a few blue offers before it’s all said and done.
