Eddie Jackson’s bio
Eddie Jackson was born in the month of Christmas (December) exactly on the 10th day of 1993 in Lauderdale Lakes, where he was raised. Initially, he had not excelled in school, but later had a reversal after his mother was demoralized in one of his court hearings.

Eddie Jackson reportedly went his way as an older brother, he was a rebel and a known criminal. The youth was among the F-list students and had numerous arrest cases on his head. His parents tried everything to persuade him to change his attitude without success. As a result, his father pulled him out of Northeast High during his junior year and moved him to Boyd H. Anderson High School with the intention of having him close to home.
When Eddie Jackson came to Boyd, he didn’t turn over new hands, continued his old ways and later faced expulsion from the school authorities. On the contrary, his coach at the time, Wayne Blair, who saw promise in the young lad, took it upon himself to refine him. Eddie once listened to his trainer and decided to turn a new leaf. He began taking additional classes to improve his grades, and in one year he became one of the top performers in his class.
