Matt Jackson is a former player for Yale and Georgetown Day.

High school

In high school, Matt Jackson went to Georgetown Day School; during his senior year there, he was the top scorer at all ten regular-season tournaments he played, as well as the 2010 NSC; he took the 2nd place All-Star spot at the 2010 HSNCT.

College

Jackson played for Yale University in the first half of the 2010s. His undergraduate career featured numerous key matches against UVA's Matt Bollinger. First under the tutelage of John Lawrence and then as captain, Matt helped lead teams to win the 2011 DII ICT, 2011 ACF Nationals, 2012 ACF Nationals, and 2013 ICT, to come in second at 2013 ACF Nationals, the 2014 ICT, and 2014 ACF Nationals, and to place third at the 2012 ICT. His editorship of BHSAT from 2011 to 2014 was pivotal in improving the standards of the tournament's writing quality and establishment of mirrors nationwide.


After graduating, Matt was the lead scorer on the winning team at the 2015 Chicago Open, and 2nd-place individual overall.

PACE

Matt became a PACE member in the summer of 2012, serving as its Vice President of Outreach from the spring of 2013 until the summer of 2014, and as its President during the 2014-15 competition year.
