Justin Jackson was a late addition to Maryland’s 2016 recruiting class.
He showed why he’s such a integral part of the program’s future on Tuesday evening.
Jackson scored just three points against American, but was able to secure nine rebounds. However, the East York, Ontario native bounced back with 17 points and seven rebounds against Georgetown in a 76-75 thrilling Terrapin victory.
The highly-touted freshman was forced into action very early. Forward L.G. Gill drew the start, but picked up two quick fouls and only ended up playing nine minutes against the Hoyas.
Even before Tuesday’s game, it was clear that Jackson has a presence on the glass.
