Heading into his first fall camp as Indiana’s head football coach, Curt Cignetti hasn’t officially named a starting quarterback. But between Kurtis Rourke and Tayven Jackson, his comments lean more favorably in one direction.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Curt Cignetti’s success with quarterbacks is one of the main reasons Indiana athletic director Scott Dolson hired the former James Madison coach.
Maintaining that high standard of quarterback play is crucial as Cignetti rebuilds Indiana. He added three quarterbacks this offseason – Ohio transfer Kurtis Rourke and true freshmen Tyler Cherry, ranked No. 14 among quarterbacks in the 2024 class, and Alberto Mendoza, ranked 84th. They will join returning redshirt sophomore Tayven Jackson, who started five games and appeared in six last season.
Cignetti promoted competition within that group during the spring and summer months, and that’s not changing. Rourke joins the Hoosiers with 33 career starts under his belt. He earned All-MAC second-team honors in 2023, completing 195-of-307 passes for 2,207 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 games. The previous season was his best statistically, as he threw for 3,256 yards, 25 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
Former Indiana coach Tom Allen flipped between Jackson and Brendan Sorsby at quarterback last season before sticking with Sorsby for the final six games. Sorsby transferred to Cincinnati following the season. Jackson finished the year completing 78-of-128 passes for 914 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions.
