veteran Tulsa guard who brought efficiency, toughness, and winning habits
Darien Jackson was a steady, multi-year Tulsa guard whose best season came in 2021-22, when he averaged 10.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 31 games, shot 55.9% from the field, and finished with 13 double-figure scoring nights. His calling cards were efficiency, reliability, and veteran poise—he also earned the American Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Award in 2022, which fits the profile of a high-character teammate who does the little things right. He’s the kind of guard coaches trust: efficient, experienced, and not afraid to do the gritty work.
