Jackson is Michigan State’s first Class of 2017 commit, though they remain in the mix for several high-profile players, including Brian Bowen, Gary Trent Jr. and Nojel Eastern.
“Jaren is as high a character kid as there is in the country,” La Lumiere coach Shane Heirman said. “From a basketball perspective, he is extremely skilled, competitive and has unlimited potential.”
