Tennessee-Martin quarterback Kinkead Dent is the lone tryout player who was brought in for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ rookie minicamp.
Along with Dent, undrafted rookie signee Seth Henigan out of Memphis is the other quarterback on the rookie minicamp roster.
During the pre-draft process, Dent measured in at just under 6-5 and weighed 213 pounds. He spent the last two seasons at Tennessee-Martin after being at Ole Miss from 2019 through 2022, where he had nine pass attempts.
As a starter over these last two seasons, Dent has completed 56% of his passes at 7.1 yards per attempt with 46 touchdowns to 15 interceptions. His production in Year 2 took a big jump across the board, including efficiency and in generating big plays.
At the FCS level in 2024, Dent ranked 16th in yards per pass attempt, 21st in touchdown passes, and was 12th in big-time throws, according to PFF.
Already on the roster at quarterback beyond Trevor Lawrence and Nick Mullens, the Jaguars have Henigan and John Wolford. The Jaguars’ 91-man roster is currently at full capacity.
Wolford has experience in Liam Coen’s system, while obviously the Jaguars like Henigan because they prioritized signing him after the NFL draft.
