Jalil Kilpatrick brings dual-threat juice to Indiana State’s QB room
In the 2026 season, Jalil Kilpatrick has thrown for 147 yards with no interceptions and added 89 rushing yards and a score, a small but encouraging sample that shows he can create with his legs and avoid back-breaking mistakes[1][3]. The appeal here is the athletic, keep-the-play-alive style: he was efficient enough in limited action to post a 52% completion rate, and Indiana State’s own bio notes he won the starting job as a junior-college transfer, which hints at competitiveness and trust from the staff[4]. If you want a quarterback with mobility and some hidden upside rather than a polished stat-sheet machine, he’s the type who can fit that mold[1][4].
