Jake Luton

Jake Luton (born April 11, 1996) is a former American professional football quarterback. He was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft. He played college football for the Idaho Vandals, Ventura Pirates, and Oregon State Beavers.

Born and raised in Marysville, Washington, Luton played football and baseball at Marysville-Pilchuck High school and graduated in 2014. He was a two star recruit and committed to the University of Idaho in Moscow. At the time, the Vandals were a Football Bowl Subdivision program in the Sun Belt Conference under second-year head coach Paul Petrino.

Luton redshirted as a true freshman in 2014. He played in eight games in 2015, throwing for 408 yards, and rushing for five touchdowns. In June 2016, he announced his departure from Idaho.

Luton transferred to two-year Ventura College in Southern California for his redshirt sophomore season in 2016. In eleven games, he threw for 3,551 yards and forty touchdowns.

Luton transferred to Oregon State University in Corvallis, led by third-year head coach Gary Andersen, and won the starting quarterback job in 2017. He suffered a back injury, which ended his season after starting just four games. Luton was granted a sixth year of eligibility after his fifth-year senior season in 2018, and started eleven games in 2019, throwing for 28 touchdowns with just three interceptions.

Luton was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth round with the 189th overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

On November 2, 2020, it was announced that Luton would make his first career start in Week 9 against the Houston Texans; starting quarterback Gardner Minshew was out with a thumb injury. He completed 26 of 38 passes for 304 yards with one touchdown and one interception, as well as a 13-yard rushing score, in the Jaguars' 27–25 loss. A day after the Texans game, it was announced that Luton would fill in for Minshew again in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. He completed 18 of 35 passes for 169 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Jaguars' 24–20 loss. Luton was named the starter for the third consecutive game in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had his worst performance yet against the Steelers, completing 16 of 37 passes for 151 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions in the Jaguars' 27–3 loss. On November 25, the Jaguars announced they benched Luton for Mike Glennon due to his recent struggles.

On August 31, 2021, Luton was waived as part of the final roster cuts.
