Class of 2025 recruit Amaia Jackson visits Rutgers women’s basketball

Amaia Jackson took a visit to the Rutgers women’s basketball program this week.

Amaia Jackson took an unofficial visit to Rutgers women’s basketball on Thursday. The class of 2025 guard has one of the most impressive offer lists in the country.

In late May, Rutgers offered Jackson, a guard from New York who transferred last year to Montverde Academy (Montverde, Florida). She plays for EYBL team the Miami Suns.

Earlier this week, Jackson also took a visit to Fairfield University. A class of 2025 recruit, she has been offered by Clemson, Memphis, Mississippi State, Missouri, UPenn and Penn State among others.

Rutgers head coach Coquese Washington had a very strong 2024 recruiting class that was headlined by five-star guard Kiyomi McMiller and four-star forward Zachara Perkins. The group is projected to be a big part of the program’s rebuild in the immediate and the long term.

 

McMiller was the No. 27 recruit in the nation in the ESPN rankings. She committed to Rutgers from an offer list that included Arizona State, Baylor, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan and Ole Miss among others.

Rutgers women’s basketball offers talented guard Amaia Jackson

Amaia Jackson has been offered by Rutgers women’s basketball.

Class of 2025 recruit Amaia Jackson was offered by Rutgers women’s basketball last week, the offer from the Scarlet Knights just one of several for the guard prospect.

Jackson plays for Montverde Academy (Montverde, Florida), one of the top programs in the nation. The offer from Rutgers came during a week when she was also offered by Clemson, Memphis, Mississippi State, UPenn and Penn State among others.

She also holds offers from Harvard, Rhode Island and St. John’s among others.

A devastatingly good shooter from distance, Jackson is a prolific scorer at the prep and the EYBL level (she plays for the Miami Suns). A playmaker with the ball in her hands, she is a strong passer and runs the court well in transition.

Originally from New York, she transferred from Bishop Kearney (Brooklyn, New York) to Montverde last year.
