Dual-threat depth QB who flashed efficiency and juice in 2023
Palhegyi is a compact, mobile quarterback who offers real change-of-pace value for Western Carolina: in the 2023 season he completed 31 of 52 passes for 434 yards and 4 touchdowns, while adding 162 rushing yards and 2 scores. His best trait is functional dual-threat playmaking, highlighted by a career-best relief outing at VMI with 253 passing yards and 80 rushing yards, plus a touchdown through the air and on the ground. He looks like a useful fit for a system that values quarterback mobility, opportunistic throws, and short-yardage creation rather than pure drop-back volume.[5][12][18]
