Tyler Jackson brings four-star upside and two-way flash to Eastern Kentucky
Tyler Jackson arrives at Eastern Kentucky as a former four-star guard who was ranked No. 76 nationally and No. 15 among point guards by Rivals in the 2025 recruiting cycle, giving the Colonels a legit floor general with high-end pedigree. In the 2025-26 season, he played in 19 games, started nine, averaged 8.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, and shot 42% from the field, showing disruptive on-ball energy and enough scoring punch to matter. The big draw is his combo of size, competitive edge, and two-way guard instincts—an intriguing fit if your team wants a perimeter pest with upside, not just a box-score merchant.
