Sharon Arnold, the mother of Jackson is often seen during Jackson’s games, supporting him selflessly like any proud mother would. During an interview, Sharon shared one of Jackson’s moments which she called the moment when his “little boy grew up.” It was the 2022 season, she went to his room and found Jackson playing a video game when he said he would not play games at night. The very next day Jackson had a match which he lost by 24-0. Jackson was also able to complete just 2 passes out of 11.
