Duncanville High School grad Tiffany Jackson -- also a former Longhorn and WNBA standout -- has died from cancer at the age of 37.
Jackson played four seasons in Austin and nine in the WNBA, retiring after the 2017 season.
She is the only Longhorn to record at least 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 300 steals and 150 blocks.
She became an assistant coach for Texas but this year she was hired to be head coach at Wiley College, a historically black college in Marshall.
Wiley Associate Vice President of Athletics Bruce Pfeiffer says "Coach Jackson became a valued member of the Wildcat family the day she stepped on campus."
Jackson was hired as head coach this past April and was preparing for her first Wildcat season.
Jackson played her senior year at Duncanville High School but she started out at Dallas Lincoln High School.
