On April 4, 2006 Jackson announced was transferring from St. John's.[3] His decision was based in part on a desire for more playing time.[4] After transferring from the Red Storm, and sitting out the NCAA mandatory school year, Jackson starred at Cleveland State, helping them make two straight postseason appearances.

On March 31, 2010, Jackson was called up to the NBA for a third time in a season, as he signed a 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards.[12] He played 4 games with the Wizards and averaged 0.8 rebounds per game, 1.5 assists per game, and 3.0 points per game.
