Enters transfer portal Jackson will enter the transfer portal, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com.

Impact Jackson will look for new school after having started one game this past season when Khurtis Rourke was out. Across his three years at Indiana, he completed 104 of his 169 pass attempts for 1300 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Impact Jackson did what was asked of him on a day in which the Hoosiers ran for nearly 200 yards as a team. The redshirt sophomore quarterback connected with receiver Omar Cooper on a 42-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to give Indiana a 14-0 lead before finding the end zone once again on a two-yard run in the fourth quarter, giving the Hoosiers their final score of the game. While it wasn't a perfect day for Jackson as he threw an interception on the opening play of the second half, he did what the team needed him to do in place of the injured Kurtis Rourke. Should Rourke continue to miss time for the Hoosiers, Jackson's next opportunity will come in a road battle against Michigan State.

Fills in for injured starter Jackson was 7-for-8 passing for 91 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 56-7 victory over Nebraska. He also had two rushes for 21 yards.

Impact Jackson filled in for fellow quarterback Kurtis Rourke after the Indiana starter went down with a hand injury late in the first half, coming in essentially for mop-up duty in a game that was well in hand by halftime. The redshirt sophomore quarterback took advantage of his opportunity, throwing for 91 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the second half while throwing just a single incompletion. With Rourke being officially ruled out for this Saturday's game against Washington, Jackson is the likely candidate to step up into the starting role for the Hoosiers.

Not starting Saturday Brendan Sorsby will get the start for Indiana on Saturday against Rutgers with Jackson retreating to a backup role, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact It'd been a struggle for Jackson of late, throwing for just 355 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions over his last three games. The redshirt freshman will head to the bench with Brendan Sorsby, also a redshirt freshman, getting the start against Rutgers.

Crushed in lopsided matchup Jackson was 7-for-13 passing for 52 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 52-7 defeat against Michigan.

Impact Jackson was the most recent Big Ten quarterback to suffer at the hands of the Wolverines' dominant defense. The Tennessee transfer failed to pass for over 100 yards for the first time since taking over the Hoosiers' starting job Week 2, and he also coughed up his first fumble of the season. While the previous three Big Ten signal-callers to face Michigan have all also struggled to keep the ball out of harm's way, Jackson's bottom-of-the-barrel outing leaves little confidence for his production this coming Saturday against Rutgers' defense, which has been solid so far this year.
