Tennessee is set to welcome their newest quarterback into the fold this spring, one that Josh Heupel hopes will turn into his future starter. Tayven Jackson, a four-star passer out of Indiana, was one of Heupel’s first commitments at Tennessee.
Before officially joining the team, Jackson is taking part in the Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii. Recruiting analysts have had the opportunity to take in practices throughout the week, and Jackson has impressed.
Tayven Jackson has a nice all around game and is one of the most intriguing quarterbacks in the ’22 class. He has impressed us both days with his arm strength, quick release and ability to tuck and run when there’s nothing open down the field.
