Former Tennessee Vols quarterback is feared to have suffered a season-ending injury
Some tough news for a former Tennessee Vols quarterback.
A former Tennessee Vols quarterback is in danger of missing the rest of the 2026 college football season.
According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, North Texas quarterback Tayven Jackson is in danger of missing the rest of the season with an upper body injury.
Jackson will undergo further testing, but there doesn’t seem to be much optimism that he’ll be back this season.
The Indiana native spent his true freshman season at Tennessee in 2022 before transferring to Indiana.
Jackson spent the 2025 season at UCF before transferring to North Texas for his final season of eligibility.
Jackson, a former four-star recruit, was having the best season of his career before the injury. The former Vol has 3,005 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
