STEPHENVILLE – Misty Wilson continues to add talent to the roster during the summer recruiting class as the head coach of the women’s basketball program has announced the addition of Division I transfer from Long Beach State, Chanterria Jackson.

Jackson, a 6-1 forward from McKinney who has spent the last two seasons at Long Beach, will be returning home to the Lone Star State this year. Jackson reunites with former Long Beach teammate Katie Webster on the Tarleton roster.

“I am very excited to add Chanterria to the TexAnn Basketball Family,” said Wilson. “Chanterria is an extremely versatile player and has the ability to play almost anywhere on the floor. She is very agile and her length will help us on both ends of the floor. Her ability to shoot from the perimeter and the ability to get to the basket will give us the ability to spread the floor. She has a true understanding of the game of basketball and it shows in her ability to move without the ball and put herself in position to make a positive impact on the floor.”

Jackson was a standout for McKinney North High School, leading her team to a 29-7 record as a senior including a 14-0 run to the District 10-5A title. She was named the 2015 District 10-5A MVP and was a McDonald’s All-American Game nominee. As a junior, she was an all-region and all-state selection after reaching the 4A state finals.

Her talents earned her a spot at NCAA Division I Long Beach State, where she made an immediate impact by playing in all 33 games. She averaged 14.1 minutes per game as a true freshman and averaged 5.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game off the bench. She followed up with 33 more games as a sophomore, earning two starts.

Jackson becomes the fourth member of the women’s basketball recruiting class, joining Weatherford College transfer Destiney Winkfield and high school signees Marissa Escamilla and Kandyn Faurie.
