Maryland football head coach Michael Locksley has named junior Josh Jackson the starting quarterback for the Terps heading into the 2019 season. A full depth chart will be released Aug. 27.
"After an extremely tight camp battle, we felt that Josh earned the starting role," said Locksley. "Josh and Piggy (Tyrrell Pigrome) pushed each other throughout the summer and into camp. We are excited about the talent in the quarterback room and strongly feel that we can win with both guys. We'll find ways to utilize each of their talents, but are confident with Josh leading the team."
Jackson, who earned his undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech, transferred to Maryland in May. The 6-foot-2, 218-pound quarterback started all 13 games for the Hokies in 2017, throwing for 2,991 yards and 20 touchdowns, while also rushing for 324 yards and 6 touchdowns during his redshirt freshman season.
