Western Kentucky's Trency Jackson To Play Pro Basketball in Europe


BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Former WKU guard Trency Jackson (pictured) has signed to play professionally for MKS Lublin in Poland’s top basketball league, the team announced Monday, August 10.


Teams in the PLK also compete in the Euroleague, Eurocup and all of the highest international basketball competitions, and the league has a well-respected television contract that helps exposure.

Jackson played in 56 games for WKU after transferring from Texas Tech, and he averaged 10.3 points per game in his Hilltopper career. He shot 37.7 percent from three-point range and also added nearly three rebounds per game over 28.0 minutes per outing. As a senior in 2014-15, Jackson led the squad in steals with 32 and finished second in three-point percentage (40.3) and fourth in scoring average (10.4).

Jackson will depart at the end of August for training camp.
