Aggies Ex Quenton Jackson Signs Two-Way NBA Contract
In this story:
Former Texas A&M Aggies guard Quenton Jackson has signed a two-way contract with the Washington Wizards, per reports Thursday from Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Jackson, who went undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft in June, originally signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Wizards. This season, he's been spending time with the team's G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go, and has averaged 14.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 17 appearances.
In his final year at A&M last season, Jackson led the Aggies in scoring at 14.8 points per game, despite starting just six times. He scored in double figures in 32 games, including 21 of the last 22. The Los Angeles native averaged 15.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in SEC play, and 16.0 points in the NIT Tournament.
The Aggies were 5-9 in conference play when Jackson moved back into the starting lineup against Georgia on Feb. 22, 2022. He responded with 31 points, shooting a perfect 11-11 from the floor in the 91-77 win. It marked just the second time in program history for a player to make 10-or-more shots without a miss.
He led A&M on a dominant run through the SEC Tournament last March, taking down SEC No. 1 seed Auburn and eventual Elite Eight participant Arkansas before falling to Tennessee in the conference title game.
