Junior guard Marreon Jackson this week earned additional postseason honors, receiving Second-Team All-District 14 recognition from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).<\/p>\n

Jackson’s honor marks the ninth straight year at least one Rocket has been included on the all-district squad.<\/p>\n

The NABC divides the nation into 25 districts and honors 10 players from each district, signifying a five-player first team and a five-player second team.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot-1, 190-pound guard, Jackson produced one of the top seasons ever by a Rocket with his 635 points this year ranking third in program history. Jackson, who set a school record with 99 three-point field goals made in the 2019-20 campaign, ranked second in the Mid-American Conference with 19.8 points per game and 5.4 assists per game to go along with a league-best 3.1 treys per game. He paced the Rockets in free-throw percentage (.816), free throws made (146), and free throws attempted (179), as well as points and assists.<\/p>\n

Jackson scored in double figures in his final 21 contests and ranked second in league play with 21.6 points per game. He registered four 30-point outings with 37 at Central Michigan, 36 at Akron, 32 at Kent State and 31 at Bowling Green.<\/p>\n
