Belmont Abbey adds assistant

Former Georgia Bulldog forward Cleveland Jackson has been named assistant men’s basketball coach and head junior varsity coach at Belmont Abbey College.

Jackson rejoins the coaching ranks after a two year absence in which he served as a family counselor and therapist for at-risk youth in Warner Robbins, Georgia. During this time, he also ran his own AAU program and skills academy for youths aged 7-18.

Prior to his appointment as a counselor, Jackson served for seven years as an assistant coach at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, where he was responsible for scouting, recruiting and conditioning. During his tenure there, the Bears claimed their first-ever Atlantic Sun regular season championship.
