Of the three, Jackson doesn't choose one sport over another, he enjoys each one in its respective season. I like all three, Jackson said. When it's football season, l like football, during basket- ball season, it's basketball, and baseball during baseball season. The result of his athletic talents, along with his scholastic achievements, has led to Jackson earning a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Southern California, where he will play both football and baseball for the Trojans beginning this fall. Jackson chose USC over Notre Dame University, Arizona State University, San Diego State University, and the University of California at Berkeley. l chose USC because it's known for its winning tradition and is considered one of the top business schools in the nation, said Jackson. Sports keep me going, said Jackson. The competition makes me keep my grades up and gives me something to shoot for. Jackson began his involvement in athletics when he was eight years old, playing little league baseball. He didn't begin playing football or basketball until he came to Tokay. I wanted to follow in my brothers' footsteps, said Jackson. Both of his brothers are Tokay graduates. I was just too big to play lfootballl in the eighth grade. l weighed over 200 pounds, he added. During his junior year, Jackson earned many coveted awards. These included: First -team all-San Joaquin Athletic Association and all-area in football, and second team all-SJAA in both basketball and baseball. He was also chosen as an honorable mention on the all-state football team this past season. Who does he admire most as an athlete? fEarvinj Magic Johnson, he said. He,s everything l've always wanted to be. by Tim Skamel 1, 'tj
