Part of me wanted that to say "COMMITTED.....AGAIN" just for the chuckle. Actually, he isn't the first transfer to use that word, and admittedly I think the same thing each time.
In all seriousness, best of luck to him at Maryland.

This is the VT transfer QB and son of Fred Jackson for anyone else confused.
February 18th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Where is "VT", what's a "QB" and who is "Fred Jackson"???
February 18th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
VT = Vaginal Trapezius
QB = Qdoba Burrito
Fred Jackson = the 62-year-old running back for the Buffalo Bills
February 18th, 2019 at 9:18 PM ^
Fred Jackson was like Lombardi, only thirstier.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:54 PM ^
Fred Jackson was like OJ, only bigger, faster, and with less murder.
February 19th, 2019 at 7:39 AM ^
He could cut and run better then OJ
February 19th, 2019 at 10:33 AM ^
+1 under-appreciated
February 19th, 2019 at 12:03 PM ^
But OJ had that luggage-hurdling ability that no one has matched since
February 19th, 2019 at 1:50 PM ^
His gloves don't fit either.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:18 PM ^
So you’re saying Fred’s kids vaginal muscle was transferred to a Qdoba burrito? Man, I hope she’s ok. Thoughts and prayers.
February 18th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
Thank you.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
I still don't see why we'd care. He doesn't seem to have any connection to Michigan and we're already set at QB.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
This kid has connections to Michigan like Tom Brady, but stronger.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:17 PM ^
Underrated comment and even more under the radar than fine print.
February 19th, 2019 at 9:42 AM ^
Like fine print, except finer.
February 18th, 2019 at 11:53 PM ^
You don't have to care. He's a local kid, the son of a long time former coach and is now likely to be a starting QB in our division. That's more than enough for me to find this news interesting.
February 19th, 2019 at 8:32 AM ^
Even if you ignore the family ties to Michigan, he’s transferring to a team that is in our division and we will play every year for the foreseeable future. For that reason, we should absolutely care.
February 19th, 2019 at 10:07 AM ^
+1 Bacon and I always saw Fred Jackson as a fine RB coach.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:17 PM ^
Josh Jackson is Fred Jackson...only younger and faster.
February 19th, 2019 at 7:14 AM ^
This isn't hyperbole. This is actually true which means it doesn't belong in this thread.
February 18th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
I wish this damn kid would just make up his mind.
He was an excellent cornerback for Iowa and had that incredible game against OSU two years ago with an unbelievable interception and ended up getting drafted in the second round of the NFL draft. Then, shocking everyone, he decided to go back to high school to be the number one basketball prospect in the country, eventually signing with Kansas over Sparty (take THAT!). His unbelievable risk paid off, and he became a lottery pick for the Suns. Less than a year later, in an even more shocking turn of events, he decided to quit basketball and become Fred Jackson's son (how this is even legal, I don't know). Naturally, being the progeny of Fred Jackson means you have to go back to playing football, so he returned to the gridiron, but this time at quarterback for Virginia Tech. And NOW he's transferring to Maryland??? Frankly, I don't see how the NCAA can allow a kid to be drafted twice in two different sports in different years and then allow the kid to make his THIRD stint in college. Clearly he's a legendary versatile athlete, but indecisive as all hell.
/s for people who didn't read the whole thing
February 18th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Don't forget his stellar amateur career with the Mighty Ducks.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Wow! So Freddie Jackson gave up singing old school R&B Booty Music?
February 18th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
Locksley is off to damn good start in College Park so far
February 18th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
He was always going to be able to recruit, particularly the DMV area. That's no surprise.
The bigger questions are about off-field stuff, putting together a staff, etc.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
And also, like, winning. Dude has a career record of 3-31
February 18th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Less murder would be a good start.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
He could always recruit. That was never his problem.
What his problem ended up being was the product he provided once that talent hit the field. And then his off-field shenanigans.
February 19th, 2019 at 2:27 PM ^
Well, good thing he's taking over a squeaky-clean program then.
February 19th, 2019 at 3:17 AM ^
Until someone cuts his heart out with a spoon
February 19th, 2019 at 6:46 AM ^
Why a spoon, cousin? Why not a knife or an axe....?
February 21st, 2019 at 5:49 PM ^
because you idiot it’s BLUNT! It will HURT MOAR!
I wanna see you 10:30. You, 10:45...bring a friend!
February 18th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
Apparently too lazy to include any info. But you can atleast say you made a thread on mgoblog!
February 18th, 2019 at 11:00 PM ^
I still can’t make a thread because I still have zero points.
February 18th, 2019 at 11:00 PM ^

Edit: Stupid double click. This is probably why I shouldn’t start a thread.
February 19th, 2019 at 8:17 AM ^
Not enough info, indeed. Like, the answer to the key question of whether he has to sit out a year or can he concoct some bullshit excuse like Justin Fields to get instant eligibility.
February 18th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Looks like we will see him on 11/2/19.
February 18th, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
So Josh will get to play M after all.
February 18th, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^

February 19th, 2019 at 5:25 AM ^
Wow - Grad transfer. He must be smart to complete his degree so quickly. Engineering or Dentistry?
February 19th, 2019 at 5:54 AM ^
OP-How are you too lazy to post a link but not lazy enough not to start a thread???

I am sure he grew up watching Michigan , his dad was here a long time as running back coach , so good luck to him except when we play them
February 19th, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
One more thing, my wife had him as her coach for the Lady 's football camp at Michigan , and he was a great coach for all the ladies that attended the one day camp
February 19th, 2019 at 10:12 PM ^
In case you forgot, his brother played for Michigan, and he was at every game for 6 straight years.
February 19th, 2019 at 9:53 AM ^
LIke UM, only worse.
