One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Jaren Jackson Jr.: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.
Nicknamed the Block Panther, Jackson was Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in his lone Michigan State season and went fourth to Memphis in the 2018 draft. He led the NBA in blocks per game two years running, made his first All-Star team in 2023, and won Defensive Player of the Year that same season. In February 2026 the Jazz landed him in a blockbuster that sent three first-round picks to Memphis.
A Plainfield, New Jersey native, Jackson won two Indiana state championships at Park Tudor School and finished high school at La Lumiere alongside future NBA guard Jordan Poole.
HOW HE CAME & WENTHe came to Utah on February 3, 2026 with John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr., for Kyle Anderson, Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three first-round picks.
