Tuesday has been a pretty special day for University of North Carolina Tar Heels forward Justin Jackson.
Not only is Tuesday Jackson’s birthday, but he’s also picked up another accolade.
Jackson was named as an Associated Press First Team All-American on Tuesday afternoon making it a pretty special day.
The forward received the news as the Tar Heels are getting ready to leave for Phoenix, Arizona ahead of Saturday’s Final Four game against Oregon.
Jackson is one of five members on the team, joining Frank Mason III (Kansas), Josh Hart (Villanova), Lonzo Ball (UCLA) and Caleb Swanigan (Purdue).
