Tayven Jackson returns to Indiana as North Texas starting quarterback

North Texas quarterback Tayven Jackson returns to face Indiana in the season-opening game. Jackson previously played at Indiana for two seasons before transferring to Central Florida, where he started 10 games last year. The North Texas starter brings experience from previous stints at Tennessee, Indiana, and Central Florida to the matchup. During his time in Bloomington, Jackson appeared in four games for Indiana in 2024, including a victory against Washington as a starter. He will be joined by his older brother, Trayce Jackson-Davis, who is expected to attend the game. Jackson secured the starting role for North Texas last week to begin his final year of collegiate eligibility.
