Cole Jackson Commits to Worcester State University

The 2006 defenseman has officially committed to Worcester State University, where he'll continue his hockey career at the NCAA Division III level. For Cole and his family, it's a result that reflects years of commitment to the game.

Worcester State is adding a blueliner who brings the right habits and the right mindset. Defensemen who can be trusted in their own zone and compete hard every shift aren't easy to find, and the Lancers are getting exactly that in Cole.

Cole took the recruiting process one day at a time and never lost sight of what mattered. He kept showing up, kept improving, and Worcester State took notice. That kind of consistency is what separates players at this stage of their development.

To Cole and his family — thank you for trusting us to be part of his journey. This commitment is a big deal, and you should be proud of everything it took to get here. Congratulations, Cole. The best is still ahead.
