FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (May 8, 2025) – Grand Canyon transfer will join the Lumberjacks for the 2025-26 campaign, as Traivar Jackson announces his commitment to Northern Arizona Basketball. Jackson is a native of Anchorage, Alaska, and will play for the jacks in his senior season, sporting No. 3.
"We are excited to work with Traivar. He can help us, and we believe we can help him. We wanted to find a veteran that has both produced and has a chip on his shoulder, and he fits that into that description. His rebounding and athleticism stand out, and we are hopeful he will be able to end possessions defensively and extend them on offense. He has played for incredible coaches and we feel that with his experience he can be an impact player immediately," head coach
Shane Burcar said.
