Impact Jackson is currently competing against AJ Hill for Arkansas' starting quarterback job, and Jackson taking the first reps is a promising early sign. However, head coach Ryan Silverfield did mention that the plan is to alternate first-team snaps throughout fall camp. Both quarterbacks worked primarily on short passes during a portion of the practice, with a few downfield throws mixed in.
