Tennessee State’s Paul Jones brings dual-threat juice and real upside at QB
Paul Jones enters the 2026 season as a freshman QB for Tennessee State with a clear calling card: he’s a dual-threat playmaker who was praised by TSU’s staff for fitting the RPO game and quarterback runs. In his prep career, he totaled 5,079 offensive yards and 56 touchdowns, including 1,333 passing yards and 20 passing TDs in 2023, which hints at a quarterback who can stress defenses in multiple ways. Why care? He adds athleticism, explosiveness, and developmental upside—exactly the kind of piece that can energize an offense if the fit is right.
