Indiana basketball extended a scholarship offer to class of 2026 wing Sammy Jackson on Friday, becoming the latest high-major program to enter the recruitment of the rising prospect out of Philadelphia.

The 6-foot-7, 185-pound Jackson plays his high school ball at Roman Catholic and suits up for Team Final on the Nike EYBL circuit. A skilled and versatile wing, Jackson has drawn attention nationally with his ability to score, rebound and facilitate.

Jackson is currently rated a three-star recruit, with the On3 Industry Ranking slotting him No. 134 overall in the 2026 class. Jackson is widely viewed as a candidate to climb in the rankings during the summer evaluation period.

As a junior, Jackson helped lead Roman Catholic to the PIAA 6A state championship game. He averaged 13.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, while knocking down 51 three-pointers and earning second-team All-State honors in Pennsylvania’s largest classification.

On the Nike EYBL circuit, Jackson has continued to showcase his well-rounded game. In the league’s first session this spring, he averaged 13 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game for Team Final.

Indiana’s offer is accompanied by plans for an official visit. Per reports, Jackson will be in Bloomington on June 13–14. He’s also scheduled to visit Texas on June 16–17.

In addition to Indiana and Texas, Jackson holds offers from, Penn State, Auburn, Arizona State and Florida Gulf Coast, among others.

Jackson is the son of former Temple star and NBA player Marc Jackson, and his recruitment is expected to remain competitive as more programs evaluate him throughout the summer.
