Indiana Basketball target Sammy Jackson announces finalists, sets commitment date

2026 Indiana recruiting target, Sammy Jackson is officially down to four schools in his recruitment. Those four schools include: Indiana, Texas, VCU and Saint Joesph's (PA).

According to Joe Tipton of On3.com, Jackson plans to announce his college decision on Wednesday, June 25.

Jackson is a four-star prospect who is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania attends Roman Catholic.

The 6-foot-7, 185-pound Jackson plays for Team Final on the Nike EYBL circuit. He is averaging 13 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and1.3 steals in 18 minutes per game for Team Final currently.

For his high school team at Roman Catholic he averaged 13.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a junior. Jackson shot 51 percent from three range, and 44 percent from the field while also being named second-team All-State in Pennsylvania.

247Sports national analyst Eric Bossi wrote this about Jackson last month:

“A 6-foot-7 do-it-all wing who has a way above average base of skills, he can play point guard for a stretch and then fluidly switch to playing as a small ball four man. He can shoot, he can pass and while he’s still a bit on the lean side, he’s got a tremendous frame to build on and should be able to blossom in a college weight room.”

Jackson will be in Bloomington, Indiana on June 13 and 14th. He’s also scheduled to visit Austin, Texas on June 16–17.

Jackson is considered a four-star prospect and is ranked the No. 94 player nationally, the 35th best small forward and the No. 1 overall prospect from the state of Pennsylvania according to the 247Sports Composite.

Based on the average of the national recruiting sites, Jackson is a 3-star prospect, the No. 134 overall player in the class, and the No. 41 small forward.
