Jazel Riley IV brings dual-threat juice to Portland State’s QB room
Riley is a compact, multi-threat quarterback whose value comes from stress-it-on-every-snap mobility: in 2025 at College of the Canyons, he threw for 1,288 yards and 9 touchdowns while adding 523 rushing yards and 9 rushing scores, showing he can punish defenses with both his arm and legs. His junior-college tape suggests a creator who can extend plays and finish drives in the red zone, while his Golden High School résumé featured school records and all-state recognition. If you want a QB who can add tempo, scramble threat, and playmaking volatility, he’s worth a look.[2]
