Jackson Earns Starting QB Role | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Arkansas has named K.J. Jackson their starting quarterback after a fierce three-week competition that culminated in a 104-play scrimmage, where Jackson edged out freshman transfer A.J. Hill — who still earned valuable first-team reps. The decision was based on leadership, situational awareness, and big-play ability, highlighted by Jackson’s touchdown passes of 69 and 22 yards. While Jackson takes the reins for now, Hill is ready to step in if needed, and both QBs remain locked in daily competition. With just two weeks until the season opener against North Alabama, Jackson’s focus is on perfecting his game with the offense as the team prepares to rally behind their new leader.
