Dual-Threat QB Bryson Barnes Gives Utah State a Built-In Run Game
Barnes is a tough, high-usage quarterback whose biggest differentiator is how much he adds as a runner: Utah State’s roster page says he set the school’s single-season quarterback rushing TD record with 10 in 2025 and produced 3,543 yards of total offense that year. He is valuable if you want a physical, competitive dual-threat who can extend drives and punish defenses with his legs, not just a pocket passer. The main fit question is ceiling and efficiency as a pure thrower, but his playmaking and workload make him a strong option for an offense built around QB movement and toughness.[6][15][16]
