COLLEGE
Charles Jackson played four years of college basketball across Lassen College (2012–13), the College of Southern Idaho (2013–14), and Tennessee Tech (2014–15), building his résumé through two junior college stops before a Division I breakout season.
Jackson was a standout freshman center at Lassen College in 2012/13, averaging a impressive 11.4 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game. He also averaged 12.2 points and tallied 21 double-doubles. As a sophomore, Jackson moved to the College of Southern Idaho. He managed just 16 games in 2013/14 after recovering from a broken leg earlier in the season. He averaged 5.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in limited action, appearing in just 17.8 minutes per game.
At Lassen in 2012–13, Jackson played 32 games and collected 366 total rebounds while shooting 61.1 percent from the field, producing one of the most consistent double-double profiles in the JUCO ranks that season. He narrowly missed a triple-double against Alameda College with 17 points, 16 rebounds, and seven blocks, underscoring the rim-protection numbers that paired with his elite rebounding rate.
Jackson’s second JUCO season at the College of Southern Idaho in 2013–14 was limited by his return from the broken leg, and in those 16 appearances he scored 93 points while shooting 56.5 percent from the field, adding efficiency to the 5.8 points and 5.6 rebounds he produced in 17.8 minutes per game.
As a junior in 2014/15, Jackson played Division I college basketball for the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. In 30 games (all starts), he averaged 13.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. He subsequently earned OVC All-Newcomer Team honours.
During his 2014–15 season at Tennessee Tech, Jackson ranked second in the Ohio Valley Conference in rebounding, totaled 40 blocks and 33 steals, and shot 57.1 percent from the field, establishing himself as a nightly interior presence while delivering production at both ends.
On April 24, 2015, Jackson declared for the NBA draft, forgoing his final year of college eligibility.
