Ja'Quez Cross brings burst, versatility, and big-play juice to Arkansas State
In the 2024 season, Ja'Quez Cross delivered 638 rushing yards on 115 carries (5.5 per carry) plus 228 receiving yards and 3 total touchdowns, showing he can stress defenses as both a runner and a checkdown weapon[1][12]. He added 1,341 all-purpose yards in 2024 and has produced across multiple phases, including kick returns, which makes him a scheme-friendly fit for teams that value versatility and field-position impact[5][12]. The main question is durability and workload; his production pops, but his best value comes when he’s used as a multi-tool back rather than a pure bell cow[14][15].
