KJ Jackson Takes Over as Razorbacks QB | Huntsville News

Arkansas football has named KJ Jackson as their starting quarterback for 2026 — a bold move for the 21-year-old who’s only played five games but dazzled with over 400 yards and five touchdowns last season, beating out a transfer QB favored by the coaching staff. A four-star recruit with jaw-dropping high school stats — nearly 3,000 passing yards, 40+ TDs, 700 rushing yards, and 14 scores — Jackson redshirted his first two years learning behind the starter. Now he’ll lead the Razorbacks into a brutal schedule that includes Georgia and a home-state showdown against Auburn. Can he live up to the hype? The spotlight is on him.
