Chandler Jackson, a standout player from Indianapolis, Indiana, has signed with the Milwaukee men's basketball team for the 2025-26 season. The announcement was made by head coach Bart Lundy.

Jackson's journey to Milwaukee follows a successful stint at Parkland College in Champaign, Illinois. Last season, he earned the title of First-Team National Junior College Athletic Association Division II All-American. His leadership was pivotal in guiding the Cobras to a remarkable 33-3 record and reaching the NJCAA DII National Tournament title game.

"We are thrilled to announce the addition of Chandler to our program," Lundy stated. "He has the size and skill to make an immediate impact this season. As a First Team All-American and a player that led his team to the National Championship Game this past season, he comes in very accomplished but hungry to get better and we are excited to help him along his journey. His personality will make fit well with our players and our fans!"

Standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 225 pounds, Jackson played all 29 games last season. He averaged 17 points and nearly eight rebounds per game while helping Parkland secure both the Mid-West Athletic Conference regular-season title and an NJCAA Region 24 title.

Jackson's stats include averaging 1.2 assists and one steal per game, with shooting percentages of 53.4% from the field, 38.1% from three-point range, and 84.5% from the free throw line this past season. He scored over 20 points in ten games, peaking at a season-high of 28 against John Wood Community College in March.

Before joining Parkland, Jackson redshirted during the 2023-24 campaign after playing as a true freshman at Illinois Springfield where he averaged modestly over his appearances.

In high school at Warren Central High School, Jackson was recognized as a High Honorable Mention All-USA Central Indiana Super Team member.
