Personal Life

Christopher Jackson spent his high school career at two top Georgia high school programs – Tucker and Parkview. As a sophomore, he was at Parkview and played some on a team loaded with blue-chip talent. But he “came home” to Tucker for his junior season. And it was a 2022 to remember for Jackson.

That’s something that I believe. I’ve seen my mom work hard to accomplish the things she’s accomplished. Hard work pays off. Not to sound cocky, but I knew one of these days someone was going to take a chance. It opened up the floodgates.”
