Tayven Jackson brings a seasoned, dual-threat spark to North Texas
In the 2025 season at UCF, Tayven Jackson threw for 2,151 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions while adding 85 rushing yards and 3 rushing scores, and he was named North Texas’ starting quarterback for 2026. He’s a fit for teams that want a poised, experienced transfer who can move a little and manage a system, though the ball-security and consistency questions are real. The good news: he’s been through multiple programs, handled starting pressure, and arrives with real game reps—not just upside in a hoodie.
