No, a non-king piece in checkers cannot jump backwards. Non-king pieces can only move forward diagonally and can jump over an opponent's piece in a forward direction. Only king pieces, which are obtained by reaching the opponent's back row, have the ability to move and jump both forwards and backwards.
