high-upside, big-arm depth QB with a breakout flash
Salem is a 6-foot-3 senior quarterback at Eastern Michigan whose biggest differentiator is arm strength: EA Sports rates his throw power at 85, and EMU’s spring game report showed he can still create vertical playmaking, including a touchdown strike in 2025 spring action. His résumé is more about development than volume—he went from walk-on to scholarship player, earned scout-team honors, and in 2024 completed 8 of 11 passes for 126 yards with one TD and one INT, highlighted by an 89-yard score. He looks like a fit for a team that values patience, upside, and a strong-armed backup who has earned trust.
