Mercyhurst’s steady 6-2 guard with two-way flashes
Deshaun Jackson Jr. is a 6-2 sophomore guard for Mercyhurst who gives the Lakers a reliable, low-drama backcourt piece with a balanced game and room to grow. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 3.3 points, 1.5 assists, and 1.4 rebounds in 24 games, with a respectable 45.9% field-goal mark, showing he can make efficient decisions and do a bit of everything[5][9]. He also brings defensive activity and poise, with nearly one steal per game in limited minutes, making him a fit for a team that values toughness, versatility, and connector guards over flashy shot volume[5].
