Jarin Morikawa gives Jackson State a steady, experienced QB option
In the 2026 season, Jarin Morikawa is listed as Jackson State’s quarterback and has been part of a Tigers offense that opened the year 1-1, with the team averaging 218.5 passing yards per game through two games. His best selling point is poise: he’s a veteran-style distributor with enough arm to keep defenses honest, and his earlier JSU snaps showed he can handle a live pocket and make chunk throws. The fit question is simple—if a team wants a calm, reliable QB who can run structure without drama, he’s intriguing; if it wants a pure high-upside spread burner, that’s less his lane.
