Jake Strong is a dual-threat spark for McNeese after a breakout, comeback-heavy 2025
Strong’s 2025 McNeese season flashed real dual-threat upside: he threw for 1,271 yards and 7 touchdowns while adding 173 rushing yards and 5 scores, including a 241-yard, 3-rushing-TD game against Houston Christian and a 4-touchdown comeback effort vs. Weber State.[13][6] His biggest selling point is creativity under pressure—he can extend plays, punch in red-zone runs, and flip games with volume passing when the offense is behind.[9][13] The concern is consistency, especially ball security and efficiency, but his production and playmaking make him a worthwhile fit for a team that wants an aggressive, mobile quarterback.[9][14]
