Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Despite the notion that spin-bowling all-rounders are bits-and-pieces cricketers, Jacks has cemented his spot in the Surrey 2nd XI side in 2017. Before he made his first-class debut, Jacks caught the eye of many counties because of his value as an all-rounder: his miserly bowling in the age-group level and his big-hitting abilities. In the age of wrist-spin, the off-spinner has shown excellent street-smartness at a rather young age; a trait extremely well-suited for the shorter formats. A level-headed young man, he was chosen to lead England in the Youth Test against India in which he handled the responsibility well and delivered with a fantastic hundred.
Jacks made his List A debut rather recently in May 2018 against Somerset in the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup. After two quiet games, he scored a pivotal 121 against Gloucestershire and showcased his big-hitting ability on the big stage. He made his first-class debut soon after for Surrey in June 2018, and has been used as a batsman in his first three matches, without getting a bowl on the greener tracks with the Dukes ball. He went on to make his Twenty20 debut for Surrey in the 2018 T20 Blast and has played only 3 matches without much impact with the bat or an opportunity to bowl.
Jacks has started to rise through the ranks steadily and was named vice-captain to Harry Brook for the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand in 2018. In his first chance to exhibit his talent to the world, Jacks managed 193 runs at 38.60 and 7 wickets in 6 games in an impressive performance. Alas, England failed to make it to the semi-finals and finished at fifth place. He led the side in the 5th-place playoff as Harry Brook was absent.
The young all-rounder is not even into his twenties yet, and has made quite a name for himself, not only with the bat and ball but also in terms of temperament. Possessing an astute cricketing brain, don't be surprised to see him promoted to play with the big boys in the near future. With flat pitches being the new typical English wicket, the English team may well need a big-hitting spinner for balance in the side - Will Jacks could soon don the three-lions crest on his chest.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A century in The Hundred and a six-wicket haul on Test debut, all in the space of four months in 2022. Of the predictions made early on in Will Jacks' career, the former was far more predictable than the latter.
The tall, clean-hitting batter was always spoken of as a limited-overs destroyer, putting the wider cricketing public on notice when, in 2019, he shot to mainstream attention with a 25-ball hundred in a T10 pre-season match against Lancashire in Dubai. When he struck 108 not out from 48 deliveries for Oval Invincibles against defending champions Southern Brave, there was awe but not much surprise.
There was, however, when he became the first England debutant spinner since 1993 to claim a five-wicket haul, with 6 for 161 in the first innings of the first Test against Pakistan at Rawalpindi, setting up a famous win. It was also the first time he had taken more than four in a first class innings. All the more remarkable given he wasn't expected to play in that match, only coming in before the toss after Surrey teammate Ben Foakes fell ill.
His selection on that tour was primarily for his off spin, which, while still raw, had been fashioned into something worthwhile by Gareth Batty. Surrey's head coach had noticed similarities between Jacks and Moeen Ali - another allrounder whose spin bowling had to be coaxed out of him - and gave him the responsibility of being the lead spin threat during the 2022 County Championship season. Returns were modest - 17 dismissals at 47 - but, coupled with 648 runs at an average of 54 from 11 appearances, he blossomed as a key member of a title-winning side.
Earmarked for a long time as a star-in-waiting. After a ton against India in an Under-19 Test in the 2017 summer, he went to the Under-19 World Cup in 2018 as vice-captain, where he hit 102 against Canada but largely struggled elsewhere.
Jacks was one of a clutch of Surrey young guns who advanced their reputation during their Championship-winning season in 2018. Jacks made his debut in all three formats, at 19, and made a significant impression with a maiden county century against Gloucestershire at The Oval in the One-Day Cup, including four sixes in his 121 off 100 balls.
Jacks was widely expected to have a breakout summer in 2019 but aside from a superb maiden first-class hundred at Beckenham, he flattered to deceive somewhat, averaging in the 20s in all formats; a strike rate above 150 in the Blast reflected his aggressive game, but he was not as prolific as hoped. From then on, he has been indispensable, with 1,151 runs across the next three Blast seasons, including leading Surrey's scoring charts in 2021 and 2022.
