Early life

Jackmon was raised in Pasadena, California, [6] and attended South Pasadena High School, where she competed in track and field and soccer. [7] [8]

Collegiate career

Jackmon attended Santa Clara University in 2015 and 2016, playing for the Santa Clara Broncos women's soccer team, which reached the quarterfinals of the 2016 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament. [6]

Jackmon then attended the University of Oregon and played on the Oregon Ducks women's soccer team in 2017 and 2018, appearing in 38 matches and starting 36. She played primarily at left outside defensive back, and also as a center back. [9] She scored her first collegiate goal on October 18, 2018, against UCLA. [6]

Club career

Jackmon considered her decision to register for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) 2019 College Draft to be "nervewracking" due to the risk of potentially going undrafted. [10] Houston Dash selected her 21st overall in the draft, [10] making Jackmon the first Oregon Ducks player ever drafted into the NWSL. [6] [11]

Houston Dash (2019)

Jackmon made her first professional appearance in October 2019, as a substitute in a club friendly match between the Dash and Tigres UANL played in Estadio Universitario. [1] However, she did not make a regular-season appearance for the club, and the Dash waived her after the season on January 22, 2020. [1]

ŽFK Spartak Subotica (2021)

Jackmon joined Serbian SuperLiga champions ŽFK Spartak Subotica in 2021, where she made her first competitive appearances as a professional footballer in the 2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League. Jackmon was one of three new transfers to the club for the campaign. [12] Jackmon started in the 5–2 victory against Peamount United in the Champions Path tournament 9 qualifying semi-finals [13] and played in the finals loss against FC Twente, in which Spartak held a 3–0 lead in the 73rd minute but lost 3–5. [14]

She did not play for Spartak after November 2021, after filing a claim to FIFA. [15]

ACF Fiorentina (2022)–

On August 2, 2022, Jackmon joined Serie A club ACF Fiorentina. [16]

Jackmon signed a contract through the end of the Serie A season upon joining Fiorentina. [17] She scored her first professional goal, a header from a free kick, against F.C. Como on September 11, 2022, in a 2–1 victory. [18] [19]

Personal life

Jackmon's father Marvin played gridiron football as a linebacker for Northern Arizona, and was rostered with the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers in 1985. [7] [20] Her brother Jordan Jackmon also played collegiate soccer, for Cal Poly Pomona. [21] She is the granddaughter of artist Marvin X. [22]
