Keiser head coach Marcus "Chief" Bryant announced on Tuesday the addition of Blake Jackson to the men's basketball staff.
 
"I've had the opportunity to witness Blake develop from a graduate assistant to a head coach," Bryant said. "His work ethic, player developmental skills, and ability to relate to student-athletes led him to be the top candidate during this search, and I'm extremely excited to work with him. I foresee Blake becoming a very successful head coach one day, but in the meantime, I'm looking forward to WiNNING a lot of games with him on my sideline."
 
"I'd like to thank Coach Bryant for the opportunity to join him and his coaching staff at Keiser University," Jackson said. "There's great basketball tradition at Keiser and I am looking forward to continuing that legacy."
 
Jackson comes to West Palm Beach after serving as the assistant coach at Coastal Alabama North CC in Monroeville, Alabama, for the 2022-23 season. During his time at Coastal, Jackson assisted in helping the Eagles reach an overall record of 23-8 and an Alabama Community College Conference Regular Season Championship. His duties for the Eagles included recruiting, player development, strength and conditioning, game planning, scouting, and academic coordinating.

Prior to Coastal, Jackson served as an interim head coach at Macomb during the 2020-21 season and as an assistant coach at Macomb for the 2019-20 season. During his time at Macomb, Jackson helped guide the Monarchs to a 19-10 record overall in the MCCA Conference, coached six MCCAA All-Conference players, one all-region, and one All-MCCA player.

Coach Jackson is a native of Detroit, Michigan. He earned a master's degree in criminal justice administration from Bethune-Cookman University.
