Jackson, 26, was a multi-year starter at UCF who spent six seasons in college. He signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft but was cut loose coming out of the preseason.
He spent this past spring with the Houston Roughnecks in the UFL.
During his six-year college career at UCF, Jackson made 45 starts.
