Jackson's Defensive Player of the Year award in 2023 placed him in elite company, joining Marc Gasol as the only Grizzlies to win the honor. His back-to-back blocks titles highlight his dominance at the rim. At just 26, he has already established himself as one of the NBA's premier defenders, with a unique ability to alter shots without fouling. His All-Star selection in 2023 was a recognition of his two-way impact. Jackson's high school state championships also underscore his winning pedigree.

AwardsJackson won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award in 2023, becoming the second Grizzlies player to earn that honor. He was named to the NBA All-Star Game in 2023 and earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honors in 2019. He led the league in blocks per game for two consecutive seasons (2021–22 and 2022–23). In high school, he won two IHSAA state championships at Park Tudor School.
