Scouting Journals for Trever Jackson

Developmental quarterback prospect with arm talent and upside that stands out in the 2024 cycle. Measured in at a shade under 6-foot-3 and around 185 pounds prior to his senior season. Sports a 10-inch hand. Flashed a very strong arm on the camp circuit in the spring prior to his senior year. Also showed that arm talent as a first-year starter in 2022. Makes high level throws that belie his lack of varsity experience. Hits small window passes under duress. The ball comes out of his hand cleanly and with velocity. Navigates the pocket well, stepping up rather than flushing to either side. Has the functional mobility to elude pass rushers and pick up yards with his legs on scrambles and designed runs. Completed around 59% of his passes for 1,553 yards and 16 touchdowns against seven interceptions as a junior. Will need to grow as a player and increase his production as a senior. Younger for the cycle, with a late August birthday. Younger than many 2026 blue-chip quarterbacks.

Trever Jackson flashed one of the strongest arms in attendance. The Winter Park (Fla.) West Orange signal caller is one of the youngest and least experienced quarterbacks on hand, but showed some intriguing upside. Jackson was at his best in drill work on Day 1 and had a solid pro day on Day 2. He faltered a bit in 7-on-7, going 6 for 16 with one touchdown and one interception. There’s no question he has the upside but will need to continue gaining experience to develop.
