Tayven Jackson has been named the starting quarterback for the Indiana Hoosiers, beating out Brendan Sorsby in a close competition. Both players made their first career starts this season, but Jackson's performance in the victory over Indiana State earned him the starting role. The Hoosiers have struggled with quarterback injuries in recent seasons and hope that Jackson can provide stability in the position. Dexter Williams II could also join the mix next month if he recovers from a knee injury.
The quarterback competition at Indiana University remains tight as redshirt freshmen Tayven Jackson and Brendan Sorsby continue to battle for the starting job. Head coach Tom Allen stated that the quarterbacks are currently in an equal rotation, with no separation between them. The upcoming preseason scrimmages will provide more clarity, but a decision may not be made until closer to the season opener against Ohio State. Additionally, redshirt junior Dexter Williams II, who suffered a knee injury last season, is ahead of schedule in his recovery and could potentially return to action earlier than expected.
