Dual-Threat QB Who Lit Up UMass in 2024 Before Season-Ending Injury
In 2024, redshirt senior Taisun Phommachanh electrified UMass with career-high 1,590 passing yards and 8 TDs on 132-of-234 passing, plus a breakout 317 rushing yards and 3 scores on 107 carries for 10+ total TDs—showcasing his elite dual-threat escapability, big arm, and bruising runs from his 6-3, 194-lb frame (Clemson/Georgia Tech transfer). Despite an undisclosed injury sidelining him after nine games, his high-motor intensity and pocket mobility make him a dynamic fit for run-heavy offenses seeking a proven scrambler with upside.
