Malcolm Jackson had a great freshman season for the Highlanders of Gordon College in Barnesville, G.A. last season. Head Coach Israel Ingle leads this young program in the GJCAA Conference.

Jackson averaged 18.9 points and 3.4 rebounds per game last season while shooting 36 percent from 3-point range for the highlanders. Jackson made the All-Freshman Team for the GJCAA.

"Malcolm can really get up and elevate on his shot. He really shows a great knack for scoring the ball with his quick shot release. Malcolm can also cause fits on the defensive end with his pesky on the ball defending," said JucoJunction Publisher Bret Swanson.

Jackson told JucoJunction he has received interest from Kennesaw State University and South Carolina State University this fall. Stay tuned to see how Gordon College and Jackson do on the season right here on JucoJunction all season long.
