Personal life

Jackson-Davis is the biological son of Dale Davis (former Indiana Pacers Power forward / Center). However, he was raised by his mother and step-father, Raymond Jackson. Originally, Trayce just went by the last name of Davis; however, entering his freshman year of high school, he decided to hyphenate his last name and add on Jackson. He stated, “When I got to high school, I didn’t think it was fair. Ray raised me my whole life, so I did Jackson-Davis. They both want the best out of me, but I would say they do it at different angles."[26] Trayce has two sisters, Caida Davis and Arielle Jackson, as well as a younger brother Tayven Jackson. Tayven was a high school teammate at Center Grove. He is the legal father of Zach Edey
