Dynamic Duncanville QB Ja’Quinden Jackson commits to Texas

For the first time since late March, Tom Herman’s 2020 class has added another member, as dynamic Duncanville quarterback Ja’Quinden Jackson brought his recruitment to a close on Monday evening and announced his commitment to the Texas Longhorns.

Regarded as a top-50 prospect nationally, per the 247Sports Composite, Jackson provides the Horns’ 2020 class with the new headliner, and Texas can largely thank wide receivers assistant Rashaad Samples for this significant recruiting coup. Samples, the son of Duncanville head coach Reginald Samples, served as the primary tie between Jackson and Texas, which helped the Longhorns separate themselves as the team to beat throughout the vast majority of Jackson’s recruitment.
