Caden Creel’s dual-threat spark gives Jacksonville State a QB with run-game juice and enough passing efficiency to matter
Creel is a dual-threat quarterback whose 2025 production showed real value as a runner and a workable passing floor: 1,514 passing yards, 9 passing TDs, 4 interceptions, plus 1,076 rushing yards and 7 rushing scores.[2][7] His biggest differentiator is playmaking with his legs, highlighted by a season-high 161 rushing yards, which makes him dangerous when plays break down and gives Jacksonville State extra schematic flexibility.[3] He is not yet an elite efficiency passer by national QBR standards, but he brings enough production, competitiveness, and athletic stress on defenses to be a strong fit for teams that want a QB who can create outside structure and tilt games with mobility.[2][4]
