The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially invited Tennessee-Martin quarterback Kinkead Dent for a tryout during their rookie minicamp. Dent, who stands just under 6-5 and weighs 213 pounds, had previously spent two seasons at Tennessee-Martin after transferring from Ole Miss. In his final year, he showcased impressive stats, completing 56% of his passes with an average of 7.1 yards per attempt, totaling 46 touchdowns against 15 interceptions. His performance ranked him among the top quarterbacks in the FCS, placing him notably in several statistical categories, reflecting a significant improvement in his efficiency and ability to create substantial plays.

Alongside Dent, the Jaguars' rookie minicamp also features undrafted rookie Seth Henigan from Memphis. The Jaguars currently have a full 91-man roster, which includes established quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Nick Mullens, along with Henigan and John Wolford. Wolford's familiarity with Liam Coen's system and Henigan's recruitment post-draft suggest a strategic depth chart approach by the Jaguars, emphasizing their commitment to strengthening their quarterback position.
