University of Denver Athletics

Former University of Denver men's soccer goalkeeper Dan Jackson was named the program's volunteer assistant ahead of the 2019 season. Jackson worked primarily with Denver's goalkeepers in his first season on the coaching staff. Prior to coaching with the program, Jackson served as the program's video coordinator.  

Following four years at UNC Asheville, including a redshirt season in 2011, Jackson arrived on the Denver campus in 2015, leading the Pioneers to their first of back-to-back unbeaten regular seasons. Jackson allowed just eight goals in 2015 for a 0.40 goals against average, making 40 saves en-route to 12 cleansheets and a 15-1-3 record.
 
Jackson’s goals against average in 2015 was good for third in the country in that category, while he also finished 10^th in save percentage (0.833).
 
Following the 2015 campaign, Jackson finished his second year of his MS in marketing at the University of Denver, while serving as the program’s graduate assistant coach. Jackson also signed a professional contract to play for the USL’s Colorado Switchbacks FC.
