There are also some very notable names around the football world as NFL Ambassadors for the Polynesian Bowl and they are, Michael Bennett, DeForest Buckner, Marcus Mariota, Haloti Ngata, Danny Shelton, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Ronnie Stanley.
Jackson is a native of Greenwood, IN, stands 6′ 4″, 195lbs, and currently plays for Center Grove high school. According to 247 sports, he’s the 15th best QB prospect in the country and ranked fifth in Indiana for the 2022 recruiting class.
When asked about the opportunity to participate in this event Jackson told 247 sports, “I’m just looking forward to playing with the best, learning the culture, and having fun. I’m very excited.”
Tayven Jackson is the highest-ranked recruit in Tennessee’s 2022 recruiting class, he committed to the Vols on April 28th and chose UT over 33 other programs, some of which included some other SEC powers like, Florida, Texas A&M, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Missouri.
The talented young quarterback is listed as a dual-threat signal-caller which means he not only has a big arm but can beat defenses with his legs and athletism as well.
Fans should be on the lookout and enjoy watching this young man in the Polynesian Bowl coming up at the beginning of the new year.
