"Mia is a sweetheart," Jackson noted. "She is always happy, bubbly, and lifting others up. She is selfless and a huge team contributor in the sense that she motivates and supports everyone. She has been a pleasure to coach, and rewarding to watch succeed. I have no doubt she will make waves at ACU and elevate their program."
