SALT LAKE CITY - Marc Jackson, who left the Ute men's basketball team last April, has announced his intent to return to the program for his senior season in 2004-05 after meeting with new head coach Ray Giacoletti.
Jackson, a 6-1 guard from Olympus High School, most recently played with the Utes in 2002-03 and earned second team all-Mountain West Conference honors. He averaged 9.3 points in 22 minutes per game while appearing in 29 contests. Jackson ranked second in the Mountain West Conference in three-point percentage (44.8), second in free throw percentage (84.2) and ninth in assists (2.76 apg). In Utah's two NCAA Tournament games, Jackson scored 13 points in the first round win over Oregon and had 19 points versus Kentucky in the second round.
"We're excited to have Marc come back to play his senior year," said Giacoletti. "We've had the chance to get to know him this past week and have had a chance to visit with the returning players on the team. Everyone is excited to have him back. I remember watching Marc play a few years ago, and I was impressed with his toughness and his passion for the game. Now we're excited to take the next step with Marc."
Jackson played for Utah as a freshman in 2000-01, appearing in 21 games before leaving on an LDS church mission. After returning early, he was a redshirt at Utah Valley State College in 2001-02 before rejoining the Utes the following season.
