Tennessee transfer quarterback Tayven Jackson commits to Indiana mvsonwilliams breaks down the transfer:
Former Tennessee Volunteer quarterbackannounced his commitment to Indiana on Sunday afternoon. The commitment comes shortly after Jackson visited Bloomington over the weekend.
Jackson is the exact type of dual-threat quarterback Allen and his staff set out to find in the portal this offseason. At first glance, Jackson's commitment to Indiana can be partly attributed to his relationship with his brother Trayce Jackson-Davis, the Hoosiers' All-American forward on the basketball team. But for Jackson, the connection is deeper than just in the family.
Even with a successful National Signing Day that saw Indiana add 16 prospects and transfers and the steady stream of additions that have come in since then, Allen was clear that his work was not done. Not long after the season, Indiana's quarterback room looked depleted following the departures of Jack Tuttle and Connor Bazelak and the uncertainty surrounding Dexter Williams II's injury situation.
"Jackson is a very talented quarterback who just got caught up in a quarterback logjam at Tennessee," Rivals.com national recruiting director Adam Gorney told TheHoosier. Gorney would continue to mention that Jackson is far too talented to stay on the sidelines, making the fit with Indiana a sensible one.
