Jackson was born on October 20, 1999, in Hoover, Alabama. [1] He is the great-nephew of Heisman Trophy winner, National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB) player Bo Jackson. [2] He attended Hoover High School in his hometown. [3] As a sophomore in 2015, he caught 20 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns while helping them reach the Class 7A state semifinals. [4]
The following year, he had 43 receptions for 661 yards and three touchdowns as Hoover won the class championship. [5] Prior to his senior year in 2017, Jackson committed to play college football for the Auburn Tigers, the same school his great-uncle attended. [6] On3.com ranked him a four-star recruit and the 343rd-best player nationally, while 247Sports ranked him three-stars and 392nd in the nation. [7] He ended his senior year with 48 receptions for 979 yards and nine touchdowns while helping Hoover repeat as class champions. [8] He was invited to the Alabama–Mississippi All-Star Game. [9]
As a true freshman at Auburn in 2018, Jackson appeared in two games and totaled two receptions for 15 yards.

[11] He had six receptions for 84 yards in 2020 while also being selected to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Academic Honor Roll. [12] [13] After having caught just 10 passes for 130 yards in his first three years, Jackson had a breakout season in 2021, being Auburn's second-leading receiver with 40 catches for 527 yards and a touchdown; his touchdown was described as "arguably the Tigers' most important touchdown of the season," as it was a game-winning score on fourth-and-goal in the final minute against Georgia State. [14] He returned for a final season in 2022, after having been given another year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [15] He recorded 16 receptions for 217 yards in 2022.
