Butler’s Jalen Jackson brings two-way guard production — but an ankle injury has ended his season
Jalen Jackson has been an impactful senior guard for Butler, showing a well-rounded game with playmaking, rebounding from the perimeter, and active defense; in his 2025 season, he averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 22.5 minutes over six games before an ankle injury sidelined him for the rest of the year. He’s the kind of guard who can tilt a lineup with toughness, versatility, and energy, though his current value is limited by the injury and the fact that he has not played since Butler’s Nov. 23 win over Virginia.
