Jared McClain brings dual-threat efficiency and red-zone punch to EKU
Jared McClain is a **dual-threat quarterback** who can tilt a game with both his arm and his legs, highlighted by a season opener in which he accounted for four touchdowns and 232 total yards. Eastern Kentucky’s roster profile also shows he was a major rushing weapon, with 116 carries for 414 yards and a team-best seven rushing scores, which makes him especially dangerous in short-yardage and red-zone situations. For a team, he fits best if you want a QB who can create outside structure, stress defenses horizontally, and add toughness and production in the run game.
