We could be wrong, but by our count, Frank Jackson is Duke’s fourth Mormon, all fairly recent. Chris Burgess was Mormon, as was Matt Christensen and Jabari Parker.
The only one who chose to do a Mormon mission was Christensen, who became a valuable, tough reserve big man.
That includes Jackson, who ultimately decided not to do a mission but who still feels conflicted about it.
Jackson has an interesting family that was profiled on NBC News in 2014.
Classic Duke-UNC angle: he’s found a church, but on the wrong end of 15-501.
