🏆 A huge congratulations to NJ Stallions 07 Real NL Alum, Marcus Jackson, on being named the prestigious 2026 Gatorade HS Player of the Year!

Marcus began his journey with NJ Stallions at a young age under the guidance of Director of Coaching Marcelo Fracchia and spent years developing his craft as a member of our 07 Real NL program. From his commitment on the training ground to his relentless drive to improve every single day, Marcus embodied everything we look for in a Stallions player.

His dedication, passion, and countless hours of hard work helped earn him the opportunity to continue his career at one of the nation’s premier college soccer programs with the UCLA Bruins, where his journey has only continued to rise.

The entire NJ Stallions family could not be more proud of this incredible achievement. Awards like this are a reflection not only of Marcus’ tremendous talent, but of the discipline, humility, and determination he has displayed throughout his career.

This is just another chapter in what we know will be a special journey ahead. The road continues.

Congratulations, Marcus! Once a Stallion, always a Stallion. 🐎💙💛
