RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Men's Basketball Head Coach Lew Hill announced on Tuesday the signing of 6-1, 165-pound guard JaSean Jackson for the 2021-22 academic year.
 
Jackson is entering his senior season at Wagner High School in San Antonio. Last season, he earned San Antonio Express-News Player of the Year and 26-5A District MVP honors by averaging 12.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.0 steals while shooting 43.7% from the field, 35.9% from behind the arc and 81.4% from the foul line in 40 games.
 
As a sophomore, Jackson earned First Team All-District honors by averaging 9.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 39.3% from the field, 35.6% from behind the arc and 63.0% from the line in 36 games.
 
"JeSean comes from a good basketball family and powerhouse teams that have allowed him to play a lot of great competition throughout AAU and high school," Hill said. "He understands the game and is continuously getting better. JeSean can really shoot the basketball, but more importantly, he's all about the team. He's the type of student-athlete we love to have in the program. He will fit in well with the culture we built here and with what we're trying to accomplish both on and off the court."
