Former Virginia Tech QB Josh Jackson transfers to Maryland football

Former Virginia Tech quarterback Josh Jackson entered the NCAA transfer portal in late January, and has announced he will be heading to College Park to join Mike Locksley and the new regime.

The Ann Arbor, Michigan, native suffered a broken fibula in September of 2018, ending his sophomore season after just three games. Due to this injury, Ryan Willis and other quarterbacks stepped up, leading to a crowded quarterback room and the potential for Jackson to lose the starting job in 2019.

Coming out of high school in 2016, Jackson was ranked as a high three-star prospect, the 12th-best player out of Michigan and the nation’s 12th-best dual threat quarterback.
