Former Longhorns QB signs with Jacksonville Jaguars
Former Longhorns QB signs with Jacksonville Jaguars Ja'Quinden Jackson gets his NFL shot After going undrafted, Ja'Quinden Jackson has received his shot to make an NFL roster. The former Longhorn and Razorback signed a three-year deal with the Jaguars. He joins Jacksonville following the best season of his college career. During the 2024 campaign, Jackson recorded 790 yards on 149 carries. He added 15 touchdowns to his resume and was a threat through the air with 139 receiving yards. Due to his play, the Dallas native earned Second Team All-SEC honors. As a key piece in the Arkansas offense, Jackson shined. While Jackson's college career included multiple stops, he was a Longhorn first. He arrived in Austin in 2020 as a quarterback but did not appear in a game. He then transitioned into a full-time running back. After leaving Texas, he joined Utah before finishing up his college career with Arkansas. As a quarterback in high school, Jackson made headlines with his arm. He led Duncanville (Dallas-Fort Worth) to back-to-back Texas state title games. That helped make him one of the most intriguing prospects in his class. Now, with the Jaguars, Jackson will look to earn a spot on a roster that includes former Longhorn running back Keilan Robinson, who Jacksonville selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Earlier this offseason, wide receiver Devin Duvernay was also a Jaguar before being released. Although Jackson faces an uphill battle for a roster spot, he hopes to be the latest Longhorn to carve out a role with the Jaguars.
