Jackson Sheffield

ELITE60 Freshman Showcase
September 24, 2022

Jackson Sheffield | 6’8” C | Hoover High School – 2026

I have put ink on Jackson before, and he continues to develop as a solid frontcourt player. His 6’8 body takes up a lot of space in the paint and makes it hard for opponents to get anything going in the post area. He is not the most nimble player, but he has shown that he can suppress opponents’ percentages around the basket. He is not a flashy player but is productive in what he does when it comes to scoring in the post, on put-backs, and on offensive rebounds. He is a big-bodied post with developing footwork while having post defense and passing that can easily be undervalued. He is developing, which is what I see from the last time I put ink on him to this time. I spoke with him after the games, and he was talking about his knees; and it is possible that he is about to grow again, and if he gets another 2-3 inches, we are having another type of conversation about the big man from Hoover.   He is not a flashy player but is productive in what he does when it comes to scoring in the post, on put-backs, and on offensive rebounds. by Terry J.

Sheffield was very forceful throughout the Elite 60 Freshman Showcase. He has good footwork and a nice touch around the rim. Sheffield uses his size to his advantage to seals off defenders in pick & roll action. Another impressive attribute in Sheffield’s game is the way he pins his man under the basket when posting low. As he gets stronger, he will be an outright force to be reckoned with throughout high school. by Bilal Benjamin of 1st Love Basketball
