BREAKING: Former Utah RB Ja'Quinden Jackson Announces Transfer to Arkansas
The Utah Utes have lost quite a few key contributors to the NFL Draft and a few to the transfer portal, but one that hurt the most was running back Ja'Quinen Jackson.
The former quarterback-turned-running back felt it was best to move on after the season. After transferring from Texas to Utah, Jackson made the switch to running back in 2022. He shined right away as he rushed for 531 yards with nine touchdowns in 2022, and followed it up with 797 yards this season with four scores. On Friday, he announced that he would be transferring to Arkansas to close out his career.
The Razorbacks lost running backs Raheim Sanders and AJ Green to the transfer portal, which means Jackson should have a case to be the lead back for the SEC program.
As for Utah, they are expected to return a full house at running back next season, while also adding Idaho Transfer Anthony woods.
