Joshua Jones brings dual-threat upside to NCCU’s QB battle
In the 2026 season, Joshua Jones enters North Carolina Central’s quarterback competition as a preseason All-MEAC pick, valued for his dual-threat mobility and ability to create on designed runs and RPO looks. He has been described as a true change-of-pace weapon, with 239 career rushing yards and 43 carries, but his passing résumé is still light, so the big question is whether his arm can match the athleticism. He’s a fit if you want upside, toughness, and scheme flexibility—not a finished product, but a potentially fun one.
