WHY I WEAR MY NUMBER
I wear 0 at Florida State because it’s a tough looking number, and one of my favorite players, Russell Westbrook, wears 0.
Chandler Jackson is the fourth player in school history to wear the number 0 – Pierre Jordan (2009-11), Phil Cofer (2016-19), and RayQuan Evans (2020-22). Cofer is the highest scoring Seminole to wear the No. 0 as he totaled 977 career points (7.3 ppg) during his 133-game career. He was a member of three NCAA Tournament teams including the Seminoles Elite 8 team in 2018.
WHAT'S IN A NAME
My full name is Chandler Matthew Joseph Jackson. My mom and my grandmother named me after the character Chandler from the hit television show, Friends. My two middle names come from biblical figures because my grandfather is a pastor, and every member of my family has names from the Bible.
MY HOMETOWN
My hometown of Memphis, Tenn., is a very loving city. It’s great because most of my family and friends are from Memphis. It’s a city that has its own swagger to it.
