A product of Duncanville, Ja’Quinden is a redshirt senior from Utah and a 2024 Honorable Mention Preseason All-SEC (CFN). He became the first Razorback to rush for a touchdown in six consecutive games since 2010. Originally a Texas Longhorn, Jackson’s journey has taken him from being redshirted in Austin to a standout role with Utah, and now he’s a valuable asset for Sam Pittman at Arkansas. His resilience after a tough ankle injury — where a low sprain turned into a tendon injury — is impressive, and now that he’s back to full health, he’s proven himself a reliable go-to for Green to advance the Razorbacks’ offense.

With 592 rushing yards on 104 carries and 10 touchdowns, Jackson leads Arkansas in rushing yards, in spite of missing the Mississippi State and Ole Miss games. If he’s fully recovered and ready to go this weekend, Texas’s defense will need to prioritize containment on his runs. Stopping Jackson could be the key to cutting down Arkansas’s scoring potential.
