The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Arkansas RB Ja'Quinden Jackson to an Undrafted Free Agent Contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Texas recruited Jackson to play QB out of high school. It wasn’t until the 2022 season, at Utah, that he transitioned to RB. In 2023, he led the Utes in carries (161), yards (797), and rushing TDs (4). He told Whole Hog Sports that he was “going through injuries that I couldn’t really help.” Jackson transferred to Arkansas last year and dealt with a sore ankle during training camp. Still, he led the backfield across the board. He popped in 15 TDs across only 10 games. Jackson wasn’t a standout performer at the Combine, but his tape shows enough to potentially fill a depth role. His size (6'1, 229 pounds) provides short-yardage appeal.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Ja'Quinden Jackson started his college career as a QB in Texas, but moved to RB while attending Utah.

He gained some draft buzz last season, but transferred to Arkansas for his final season and took a dive in production.

Jackson joins a Jaguars team that added two RBs in the draft in Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen.

Jackson is unlikely to have any redraft or dynasty value, even as the offseason continues.
