Hi, I'm Jackson Green from Mooresville, NC and am a senior at the University of South Carolina. I’m majoring in Broadcast Journalism with a Sport & Entertainment Management minor. I’ve worked in internships involving sports media and broadcasting, working in the Coastal Plain League and with the Winston-Salem Dash. On campus, I have been involved with USC’s student-run local news broadcast, Carolina News & Reporter. I’m also a member of the Beta Theta Pi organization and spend my free time immersing myself in sports. There isn't a league or organization where I wouldn’t watch some baseball, football, basketball, golf, etc. I’m hoping to pursue a career in sports media/TV with the specific goal of play-by-play commentary.
