Dual-Threat QB Jalen Daniels Gives Norfolk State a Reliable Creator
In the 2024 season, Jalen Daniels emerged as Norfolk State’s starting quarterback and showed clear dual-threat value, throwing for 469 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs while adding 31 rushing yards and a score in one early conference win and later producing 277 passing yards and 3 TDs in a road win over VMI.[3][5][2] His differentiator is efficiency plus mobility: he can extend plays, create with his legs, and deliver enough passing pop to keep defenses honest. He also earned MEAC Co-Offensive Player of the Week, which underscores that his ceiling is tied to impact, not just box-score volume.[5]
