Tayven Jackson gives UCF a dual-threat QB with big-play upside
In the 2025 season, Tayven Jackson was UCF’s passing leader with 2,151 yards, 10 touchdown passes, 8 interceptions, and a 63.5% completion rate in 11 games, while adding 85 rushing yards and 3 rushing scores. He fits as a calm, experienced operator who can extend plays and create with his legs, but the turnover rate shows he still has to sharpen his decision-making. The appeal is clear: he brings mobility, starter-level production, and enough arm talent to keep an offense alive. If your team wants a quarterback who can threaten defenses in more than one way, he’s intriguing.
