Jackson did it all for North Texas: rebounder, scorer, shot blocker and an academic standout.

Jackson is the top rebounder in North Texas women's basketball history with 761 boards, 45 more than the second-best total of Empress Drane. Her top season was 2008-09, when she grabbed 265 rebounds, an average of 9.5 per game.

But Jackson was also a prolific scorer, ranking fifth in career points with 1,394. Jackson was the team's top scorer in 2007-08 at 13.0 points per game and in 2008-09 at 16.8 ppg, and her 471 points in 2008-09 ranks as the sixth-best single-season total. On defense, Jackson recorded 73 career shot blocks, sixth most all-time. Jackson was also durable, playing in 116 games, fifth most in program history.

Jackson was a two-time all-conference selection in the Sun Belt Conference, and was named to ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team in 2009.
