Joel Blumenthal brings dual-threat upside to Northwestern State’s QB room
Blumenthal’s profile is built on mobility and playmaking flashes: in Northwestern State’s 2016 spring game he threw for a game-high 122 yards and a touchdown on 8-of-13 passing, and his roster bio notes he also rushed for 231 yards and a touchdown in limited action with a long run of 62 yards[2][6]. That combination gives him a useful differentiator as a quarterback who can create off-script and stress defenses with his legs, though the available public data is limited and appears to reflect an earlier-career snapshot rather than current-season production[2][6].
