Jackson enters transfer portal

Tre Jackson will reportedly finish his college career elsewhere.

The 6-foot guard from Columbia, S.C. has reportedly entered the transfer portal, according to Verbal Commits. T.J. Otzelberger has been meeting with players from this year’s roster throughout the day, and the Jackson news follows Izaiah Brockington and George Conditt announcing their intentions to turn pro earlier today.

Jackson appeared in 74 games across three seasons for the Cyclones, making 18 starts, and averaging 4.1 points per game. As a junior in 2021-22, Jackson averaged 3.7 points and shot 36 percent from 3-point range in 28 appearances.

Iowa State was one of more than 10 schools to offer the former three-star recruit coming out of high school and was one of two Power 5 offers alongside South Carolina.
