Marcus Jackson Committed
We are thrilled to welcome Marcus Jackson to our program. To have another Capital Region product stay home and attend UAlbany for his academic and athletic career is exciting for everyone within our community. Marcus will quickly be a fan favorite for his passion, grit and toughness on the floor. We can’t wait to get to work and welcome Marcus and the entire Jackson family to the UAlbany community.
Head Coach Dwayne Killings

This past year, Jackson completed his high school career at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Ma. He built off of his stellar senior season at Albany Academy, where he averaged 27.9 points, 9.2 assists and 5.7 steals. 

Hard work is only an admission ticket. I chose UAlbany because I feel they value me and we also share the same values... Being able to play at UAlbany means a lot. I believe it’s a great opportunity to show the talent we have in our area that is tends to be overlooked. Also, being able to play for Coach Killings is an honor, not only because he is a great coach, but because the unique story of how he met my family and the people in my circle. Coach Killings first met my family on a home visit for my brother when he was at Marquette and he really values the family aspect of life.
