Jackson Muschamp, Quarterback (No. 26):
Class: Freshman
Height: 6-2
Weight: 190 pounds
Hometown: Columbia, South Carolina
High School: Hammond School
Georgia Bulldogs freshman quarterback Jackson Muschamp originally committed to Colorado State, but decided to commit to the University of Georgia as a preferred walk-on.
Jackson is the son of South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp. He’s following in the footsteps of his dad, who walked on to the team in Athens. Will Muschamp played at Georgia from 1991-1994. Much like Kirby Smart, Will Muschamp played safety for UGA. The two barely missed playing with each other as Kirby Smart played with Georgia from 1995-1998.
He’ll compete for the backup role behind Jamie Newman in 2020 with D’Wan Mathis, Stetson Bennett, USC transfer J.T. Daniels and Carson Beck.
Georgia’s quarterback room has a lot of depth this season and beyond, provided multiple players don’t transfer out of the program. Muschamp will also get a chance to play South Carolina every season and stay close to home.
