Where is Ja'Quinden Jackson from?

Ja’Quinden Jackson, a running back out of the University of Arkansas, was one of the 329 draft prospects to get invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. At the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, he measured in at almost 6’2 and 229 lbs, with an arm length of 33 inches and a hand size of 9.5 inches. His prospect grade, 5.68, projects him as one who could compete for his spot at the bottom of the roster or become a practice squad member at the next level. His Next Gen Stats score of 59 falls into the below-average category (via NFL’s official website).

The 2025 NFL draft prospect committed to the Texas Longhorns football program as a quarterback but stayed there for only one year before transferring to Utah. Jackson, after seeing minimal gameday action in his first year at Utah, converted to running back going into the 2022 season. In his two years with Utes since taking primary snaps in the backfield, Jackson recorded more than 1300 yards on the ground during that timespan (via his Utah Athletics roster page). In his lone season wearing the Cardinal and white uniform, Jackson concluded his collegiate career by appearing in 10 games for the Arkansas Razorbacks, during which he accumulated 790 rushing yards. The 23-year-old (as of March 2025) running back’s best year came in 2024 when he put up a career high of 929 yards from scrimmage.
