FC Dallas has acquired goalkeeper Jacob Jackson from San Diego FC in exchange for a natural third-round pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft, the club announced today.
The 25-year old began the 2025 season with San Diego FC after the expansion side selected him in Stage 1 of the 2024 MLS Re-Entry Draft. He made three regular season appearances and featured in one U.S. Open Cup match for the San Jose Earthquakes in 2024 before joining San Diego.
Originally selected 24th overall by the New England Revolution in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft, Jackson has primarily played in MLS NEXT Pro with New England Revolution II and The Town FC. Across more than 3,000 professional minutes, the San Diego native has recorded nine clean sheets and was named MLS NEXT Pro Goalkeeper of the Month in May 2022 after posting five consecutive shutouts.

BDS Take
Ever since the club sold Antonio Carrera to Tigres earlier this summer, the third keeper slot on the roster has been left vacant.
This is what you call a short term rental. Ten games with no option for the following season and all they had to give up in return was a third round SuperDraft pick. I call that a pretty even deal for both sides.
