North Carolina Central freshman QB Jaquez Crawford brings winner’s edge and dual-threat promise
Jaquez Crawford enters 2026 as a freshman quarterback at North Carolina Central with a real “built to compete” vibe: he’s listed at 6-foot-0, 212 pounds and came in as an early enrollee after a high school run where he went 22-4 over his last two seasons and completed 74% of his passes for 3,473 yards and 41 touchdowns. The big sell is poise, accuracy, and a winner’s mentality — he’s not just a number-sheet guy, he’s a developmental QB who could fit a program that values toughness, growth, and depth in a competitive quarterback room.
