The Shock originally selected the Oklahoma grad with the final pick in the first round (13th overall) in the 2005 WNBA Draft. As a collegian, Jackson was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in 2003, 2004 and 2005, earned Big 12 All-Tournament honors in 2002 and 2004, and was recognized as the Big 12 Tournament Most Valuable Player in 2004.

Detroit Shock Training Camp opens on Monday, April 23.
