High-upside QB with a real shot to climb Coastal Carolina’s depth chart
Jackson is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound redshirt sophomore with blue-chip pedigree, Elite 11 Finals credentials, and the kind of arm talent that keeps him on the radar even after stops at Florida State and Arkansas. Coastal Carolina lists him among its 2026 quarterbacks as it enters a new era under center, and reporting indicates he should get a legitimate chance to compete for playing time. His appeal is upside: size, recruiting reputation, and developmental ceiling. The question is whether that talent turns into steady production—because if it does, Coastal may have found a sneaky-good QB fit.
