'22 QB IN Tayven Jackson (Tennessee signee)

Yep I have been worried about him because of his stats. They aren't that eye poping. Don't believe he has all that many rushing years either. Looks like he moves well and has a winner mentality but the stats 🤷.

Hope he ends up being a stud or that we at least get a stud in the 2023 class.

Bailey had great stats in high school too
 
You two realize they run the Wing T right? Hitting 75% of his targets for 133 yards and 2 TDs is a lot in the Wing T. Means he is accurate and a good decision maker.

You guys ever played against the Wing T? It’s usually 9 to 10 dudes in the box with multiple RB/FB options. His stats aren’t going to be eye popping lol.

He is averaging 138 yards passing a game with a completion ratio of 66.7%.

To me that mean he is throwing alot of dump and short passes. That doesn't mean "he is accurate and a good decision maker."

I'm not dumping on the kid or think he is a bust. I'm simply just saying I hope we aren't going all in on him being the future for us when we have such a small sample size.
 
Center grove is good
They play tough and when they got you by the throat they kick you in the dick
They are a good team and probably will win state

You can go look at his games…. They aren’t just dump passes….
 
I knew this was coming. lol I'll try and make my point again. This has nothing, again nothing against or really about Jackson's talent nor abilities. I was simply asking if there was RB that is also shining or good talent on the team because someone besides Jackson must be scoring a lot. That's all. Again, asking if there might be other talent on this team we or someone else would be interested in. Hope that clears that up. I do realize that they run a wing T and I also stated already I trust JH when it comes to QB's. So there hope I covered all my bases. lol
Hater

If he only completes 10 passes a game that would only average out to 13.7 yards per completion. He is doing short passes somewhere.

Again like I said I'm not against the kid and hope he succeeds I'm just not convinced he is the for sure future of this team and that we need another QB recruit with upside this cycle and we need to recruit the position at a higher level next year.

Well I don’t disagree with you there by any means.

Between Milton and Gabriel at UCF and Hooker here, I’ll let CJH work with him before judging either way.

Will say the one similarity between our O and the wing T is running multiple plays with multiple reads from the same formation. Already having that processing ability could payoff.

Hooker avgs 13.84 per completition
Kenny Pickett-13.31
Bryce Young-13.12

I'd take those guys.
 
Jackson was 6 of 9 passing for 85 yards and a TD last night as Center Grove picked up another lopsided win, 41-7 over Columbus North. He also rushed for -6 yards on 3 carries, his 5th negative-yardage ground game this year.

From an April '21 piece in the Indianapolis Star:
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.”

But maybe 247 has him classified correctly, as he's averaged just 4 carries per game and 2.2 yards per carry this season; that's not what you typically see from a true dual-threat QB. I think Jackson is nimble afoot and has good escapability, but he doesn't seem to be a natural runner like Hooker.

He’s a 4* now in both the composite and 247 rankings
