Jackson is honored to be invited back for to Orlando, Florida for the Diamond All American All Star game being held Memorial Day weekend, where he will attend a 2 day combine and play 2 games against some of the best talent on the East Coast in hopes of being selected for the East vs. West National Bowl game in January. 

Jackson is also ranked as the #6 12u defensive end in the country by RnR Top 100 Sports/ The Seal and was invited to another combine in May as well as the Mid Atlantic showcase game in July, both of which are being held in Delaware. 

As most of you know, there aren't many opportunities for kids seeking to take their game to the next level in youth sports in our area, and limited opportunities for high level football games.  We travel 3 hours per day, 3-4 days a week to practice with a travel team, and often travel several hours away for games during the season.

  Jackson loves football, and constantly works to get better and develop his skills. Upcoming costs include equipment/registration for Pittsburgh Panthers Elite, camp fees, transportation to Deleware and Florida, and  3 hotel stays. Any donations are sincerely appreciated, and as always, the Mickens family appreciates your support and encouragement!
