Alright, Florida State fans and football junkies, here’s the latest from Tallahassee. Shakeup in the FSU quarterback room! Trever Jackson, our redshirt freshman quarterback, is taking his talents to the transfer portal. Yep, he’s out.
Now, Jackson came to us last year as a walk-on, but don’t let that fool you—dude was a four-star recruit and committed to Ole Miss before coming here. Pretty solid resume coming out of high school, hitting that Elite 11 Finalist status, and even snagging the “Rail Shot Challenge” win. If you know, you know.
FSU made his debut sweet and subtle against Charleston Southern where he wrapped up the game with a tidy two-yard run. As a Scout team QB, he kept the starters on their toes. But with three other scholarship QBs staking their claim on the depth chart (Tommy Castellanos, Brock Glenn, and Kevin Sperry), Jackson decided it was time to see what other opportunities are out there.
For those keeping PlayStation-like stats, in his high school days at West Orange and Jones, Jackson was a dual-threat QB who put up video game numbers—47 total touchdowns in two seasons? Nasty stuff.
While Jackson’s headed off, the Seminoles have depth in their QB room, so it’s not defcon five in Tallahassee. But losing a guy like Trever is always a bummer, especially one with a high ceiling and four years of eligibility left in his pocket.
Keep an eye out, because the transfer portal’s heating up, and you never know what names might be popping up next. Meanwhile, back to your regularly scheduled programming of Seminole sports mania.
