“Naturally, this new Tennessee staff went hard at in-state QB Ty Simpson upon being hired,” Wiltfong said. “But they recruited Tayven Jackson equally as hard, and he was the only target on the board after Simpson elected for Alabama. This is the quarterback they’ll aim to build it around under this new regime, and Jackson has the intangibles, too.

“He is a winner on the prep level that played in the state title game of the Hoosier State’s largest class the last two years, winning it as a junior.”

Josh Heupel and Company just landed their top quarterback target for the 2022 recruiting class in Tayven Jackson, and Jackson is a huge addition. SI Director of Recruiting John Garcia Jr. gives a look at what makes Jackson so special.

“Jackson has one of the biggest arms in the country on tape," Garcia said. "I think if you looked at that singularly, it would tell you he’s going to garner Power 5 interest. But when you start to match it together with his other traits, which include a great frame, true athleticism, and some precision, now all of a sudden you get the makings of a potential franchise guy from a physical perspective."

..."But I think the most intriguing thing is the physical traits and the room for improvement, not only this next year as he’s a senior but once he focuses on football going into college. And once he focuses on football going into college, how quickly he can develop and hit some of the marks that maybe some other quarterbacks are a little ahead of him on in that developmental scale...His best plays are right there with the top quarterback in the country’s best plays. It’s a fun tape to watch. He will be a fun prospect, and the most exciting quarterback get for Tennessee for me in several, several years from just a ceiling and potential standpoint.”

He is rated as a three-star prospect on the 247sports composite list and the No. 18 pro-style quarterback in the country. That pro-style designation is something Jackson would like to change when he looks ahead to his senior season. Jackson averaged 4.2 yards per carry last season, but only ran it 46 times in 14 games. With IndyStar Mr. Football Carson Steele in the backfield and a bevy of other weapons around him, Jackson did not need to run the ball often. “I’d like to use my feet a little more,” Jackson said when asked about his senior season. “A lot of recruiters and 247 and all of them have me as a pro-style quarterback. But I think I’m a dual threat all the way. They just don’t see me running a lot. I’m definitely going to show them I’m a dual threat and I can use my feet when I need to.”
