Big dual-threat QB with production and power-run juice
Chaffin is a physically imposing, dual-threat quarterback whose value jumps off the page: in his senior year at Upperman, he threw for 2,130 yards and 18 touchdowns while adding 1,344 rushing yards and 22 scores, and over his final three seasons he accounted for 99 total touchdowns for a 34-5 team.[1] Appalachian State’s signing of a three-star prospect reflects a QB who pairs efficient passing, real designed-run threat, and proven winning pedigree, with 247Sports ranking him 42nd among 2026 quarterbacks and 4th in Tennessee.[1][2] He looks like a fit for an offense that wants a rugged, production-driven runner under center more than a pure pocket passer.[1][2]
