Josh Jackson, who as a redshirt freshman quarterback at Virginia Tech two seasons ago threw for 20 touchdowns and nearly 3,000 yards, announced on Twitter on Monday night that he plans on transferring to Maryland.
The announcement followed Jackson’s official visit to the Maryland campus last weekend and three weeks of speculation after Jackson, along with several other Hokies, put his name into the NCAA transfer portal.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Jackson is expected to graduate from Virginia Tech this spring and will have two years of eligibility remaining. Given his success before breaking his leg early last season, he is likely the favorite to start for the Terps in 2019.
