University of Toledo coach Tod Kowalczyk said that during an offseason trip to Italy he could already see how much his veteran players respected freshman point guard Marreon Jackson.
His confidence, his swagger, and his positive personality immediately stood out to Kowalczyk and the rest of the team.
“Since I’ve known him, he’s been an extremely confident and, in a good way, a cocky player,” Kowalczyk said. “He expects to make big plays. I do think his confidence as a point guard is very contagious and infectious within our team. There are two things that make him so good.
