Early years
Jackson Kingston was born in Havana, Cuba, on November 1, 2016. Throughout his young life, he grew up poor in the Cuban streets. Because of his great size, he was encouraged to pursue a career in baseball, like many other Cubans have done. However, Kingston always enjoyed football from early on. His parents supported his pursual of football, and when Kingston turned 14, he was sent to live with a rich uncle who resided in Miami, Florida. He was originally intending to attend a public high school, but during a summer camp, scouts from the reknowned IMG academy took an interest in him. They were impressed by his size and ball skills. Kingston was promptly offered admission at the school, where he enrolled for his freshman year. However, Jackson was not ready to play competitive football against some of the best teams in the nations, and spent the first two years of his experience on the bench. He slowly lost interest in the sport, almost quitting to focus on class, but then he received word that his father was deathly ill back home. This was the motivation "Ace" needed, as he dedicated the rest of the summer to getting into football shape. He slimmed down from 240 to 220 pounds, and improved his footwork greatly. He promptly started at wide receiver the next two seasons, part of a national championship team in 2033.
College career
Kingston originally was listed as a 3-star recruit, and received various offers from P5 schools, before eventually settling on UCF, a school relatively near his hometown. However, before his freshman season, he was arrested for drug possession and public intoxication. His scholarship was revoked, and he instead enrolled at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College to play JuCo football. He was placed on probation his freshman year, and was unable to play football. In his sophomore year, Kingston came out of the gate ready to go and rejuvenated. He was on track to graduate with a degree in sports medicine, and he came back in better shape than ever before. His talent dominated opposing defenses, as the Bulldogs blitzed to a 12-0 record and the NJCAA championship. Kingston was a leading part of these efforts, recording 1044 receiving yards in 10 games. He graduated with a 3.8 GPA on the academic honor roll. The following offseason, he transferred to Louisiana Lafayette to continue his football career. He showed out in training camp and the offseason workouts. However, six games into his junior season, he tore his MCL, and missed the rest of the season. He finished with 448 yards. At this point, he contemplated staying at Louisiana Lafayette, before declaring for the DSFL draft, seeing it as his last opportunity to play professional football with his repaired reputation.
