The 2004 Wooden and Naismith Award finalist evolved from hometown hero into one of the best players in the country. Only the second player in league history to accumulate 1,900 career points, 700 rebounds and 400 assists, he was an integral part of Oregon’s magical 2001-02 season that saw the Ducks win their first outright conference title in 63 years and advance to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight. As a senior during the 2003-04 season, the consensus All-American was one of only six players in the nation to lead his team in scoring (21.2 per game), rebounds (7.2) and assists (4.5). The all-Pac-10 first-team selection was second in the conference in scoring his final year and 14th nationally. Some of the most iconic performances in school history were scripted by the Creswell native - the most remarkable of which came in the opening-round win of the 2004 National Invitation Tournament against Colorado. The 6-7 forward scored 29 consecutive points in the second half and overtime to rally the Ducks from an 18-point deficit. He had 40 overall on the night in arguably the most impressive individual performance at venerable McArthur Court. He also scored the most points ever by a Duck at Mac Court with 42 against No. 14 Arizona. Selected 10thoverall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2004 NBA Draft, Jackson finished his collegiate career ranked in an unprecedented nine career top 10 categories, while his 656 points as a senior were the second most in a single season for the Green and Yellow. Ten years after his final game in an Oregon uniform the school’s second-ranked scorer of all time and free throws record holder (506), also remained second in steals (160), fourth in field goals (645), fourth in free throw percentage (.849), sixth in three-point field goal percentage (.402) and eighth in rebounds (746).
