Owen Eshelman brings dual-threat upside and a high-upside arm to WSU’s QB race
Eshelman enters Washington State as a **redshirt freshman** with real dual-threat juice: at Norman North in 2024, he threw for 2,691 yards and 29 touchdowns while rushing for 1,383 yards and 19 scores, and WSU lists him at 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds. His differentiators are obvious—plus mobility, 85 throw power in EA SPORTS College Football 27, and a reputation as a smart, high-achieving worker—but he is still a developmental passer who did not appear in a game during his 2025 redshirt season, so he fits best as a ceiling play rather than an instant-floor starter.
