Texas QB Ja’Quinden Jackson enters NCAA transfer portal

Another player could depart from the Texas Longhorns program, as multiple outlets reported on Tuesday that freshman quarterback Ja’Quinden Jackson has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

The 6’2, 232-pounder was part of a two-man quarterback class for the Longhorns in the 2020 cycle as Jackson joined former Lake Travis standout Hudson Card. Considered a consensus four-star prospect, Jackson was ranked as a top-100 prospect and the No. 3 dual-threat quarterback, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

A three-year starter at Duncanville, Jackson led the Panthers to two straight title games, but did not play for Texas as he recovered from a knee injury that he suffered as a senior.
