Riley Jackson, a top recruit from the class of 2024, has signed a pro contract with the North Carolina Courage. The club announced the deal on Friday, which is guaranteed through the 2025 season.

Jackson, originally from Roswell, Georgia, was a standout for Concorde Fire prior to turning pro. No. 4 in the 2024 IMG Academy Player Rankings, she was committed to play at Duke starting next year. She helped Concorde Fire Platinum win the Under-19 ECNL National Title last year, and was the Gatorade High School National Player of the Year in 2022.

Along with that, Jackson was a regular with the U.S. youth national team setup, helping the United States qualify for the Under-17 World Cup last year. She co-captained the team in India last year, and was in camp with the Under-18/19 team this past January.

She trained with the Courage in the summer of 2022 and 2023, before deciding to turn pro.
