Just in: Indiana hoosiers coach choses Kurtis Rourke as starting qb over Tayven Jackson

Jack’s Take: Is There a Real Battle to Become Indiana’s Starting Quarterback?

Ohio transfer quarterback Kurtis Rourke and returning redshirt sophomore Tayven Jackson took the vast majority of snaps during Indiana’s spring game Thursday. Rourke has the superior track record, but new head coach Curt Cignetti will make him earn the job, saying there’s “healthy competition” heading into the summer

That’s about as good as Jackson has looked in an Indiana uniform, even with the caveat that it was the spring game against the second-team defense. And it served as a reminder of the excitement that came with Jackson’s decision to transfer from Tennessee to Indiana in January 2023 as a former four-star, top-200 recruit.

Meanwhile, Ohio transfer Kurtis Rourke got off to a slow start in Thursday night’s spring game.

So does Indiana have a real competition brewing at starting quarterback?
