6-foot-11, 260 Dishon (St. Patrick-St. Vincent/Washington State) Jackson is playing well this season for North Carolina Charlotte. In 15 games/starts and 24 minutes a contest, the redhirt sophomore is averaging 10.3 points and 4.9 boards, shooting 61%, 14% and 67% respectively, alongside 16 blocked shots. He did miss the 2022-23 season due to undisclosed medical reasons but he's playing well now.
