A massive thank you to Eric Moore at Center Grove, Tayven's father Ray, and Anthony Morelli for speaking with me on this story. I had a ton of fun with it – enjoy!

Nice work … Many knew Jackson was a storied ISHAA champion.

Few, I think, knew how deep the story was, and the work ethic behind it.

I want to see "it" tomorrow.

This game will go a long way in determining what kind of a season we'll have.

Jackson, Cooper, and McCulley competed with each other on the hardwood too, and are excited to play for each other. May their camaraderie be infectious.

Good story Mason, I am excited to see how Jackson plays Saturday bringing IU a football victory many don't think they will. Our defense will show it is legit and the offense will show life of being able to score many points.

It's a minor thing but the beginning of the article is a bit misleading. Jackson gave up basketball early in his sophomore year. I don't think he ever played a varsity basketball game against Cooper and McCulley.

The other article says

“After his sophomore basketball season, Tayven made his decision. Football stuck.” … once then.

My guess is they likely blew off some steam on the pickup courts this summer … this is Indiana after all.

Good luck young man.

Great article!! I think he certainly has the potential to be a great QB at Indiana.

The Tennessee fans were gaga over his commitment to them. Tennessee folks know what a good QB looks like, glad we've got him.

Nice Article! Looking forward to seeing Tayven reach his potential and be the guy here for the next several years.
