The 2002 TSU QB who flashed big-arm fireworks
In the 2002 season, Jacob Chavan emerged as a high-upside Texas Southern quarterback with real vertical-passing pop, highlighted by a school single-game record 449 passing yards in his first start and a 3-touchdown performance in a later TSU win[2][14][4]. He also showed he could carry a passing attack, with TSU leaning on him as the lead signal-caller in a shootout-heavy offense[8][2]. The caution flag: his stat line included turnovers in some games, so he looked more like a fearless gunslinger than a polished, low-risk game manager[12].
