Brad Jackson gives Texas State a dual-threat spark, but the passing game still needs polish
In the 2026 season, Texas State QB Brad Jackson opened with 150 passing yards on 15-of-23 throwing and added 27 rushing yards against Texas, showing mobility, poise under pressure, and a willingness to keep plays alive. He fits best as a quarterback who can extend drives with his legs and create off-script, but the one interception hints the ball security and downfield consistency still need tightening. If you want toughness, energy, and a playmaker who can take contact and keep coming back, he’s intriguing; if you need a finished product, he’s still a work in progress.
