At Minnesota, he had a career-high 27-point, 16 rebound performance and made 11 of 15 field goal attempts. His 16 rebounds were the most by an IU freshman since Jared Jeffries had 17 against Penn State in 2001. Against Penn State, he had 13 points and 10 boards giving him nine double-doubles on the season (IU is 9-0 in those games). He is averaging a team-best 14.1 points and 8.1 rebounds. He is just one of four freshman nationally (Vernon Carey, Jr. - Duke, Zeke Nnaji - Arizona and Isiah Stewart - Washington) to lead his team in scoring, rebounds, field goal percentage, free throws made and free throws attempted and blocked shots.
In the Big Ten, Jackson-Davis is the top freshman scorer overall and in conference games (13.4). He also leads in overall and conference play in field goal percentage (58.3 and 55.8), blocked shots (1.9 and 1.8), free throws made (106 and 58) and attempts (152 and 83). He is second overall and in league games in rebounding (8.1 and 7.8). He is 10th in the B1G in scoring, 7th in rebounding, 2nd in field goal percentage and 6th in blocked shots.
