JJ Kohl brings rare size, live-arm upside to App State’s QB room
In the 2025 season, JJ Kohl flashed real playmaking juice at Appalachian State, throwing for 1,465 yards, 12 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions while completing 61.6% of his passes in eight games. At 6-foot-7, he’s a big-bodied pocket passer with prototype frame, touch on vertical throws and enough arm strength to stress defenses downfield. The fit question is more about polish and consistency than talent: he has clear starter traits, but his value depends on whether a team can develop his timing, decision-making and comfort under pressure.
