Although Jackson committed to Georgia Tech out of Denton, Texas' Billy Ray High School, he instead signed with the New York Yankees who had selected him in the 8th round of the 2005 MLB Baseball Draft. Feeling high on this prospect, New York offered Jackson an $800k signing bonus which was a record setting figure for a pick from that round. The former Yankees prospect was traded to the Tigers in 2009 and is now making an impact in Detroit.
