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.
