He was later loaned to Pro-B team JSF Nanterre for the 2008–09 season and Pro-A team SPO Rouen Basket for the 2009–10 season. In the 2009–10 season, he averaged 10.7 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal per game. He was selected to the French League All-Star Game as a result of his performance. He returned to ASVEL in 2010.
Jackson initially declared as an early-entry candidate for the 2010 NBA Draft before withdrawing his name from consideration. He eventually went undrafted in the 2011 NBA Draft, due to auto-eligibility at age 22.
