UTEP’s Elite Hall-of-Famer QB with Unmatched Efficiency and Passing Yards
Jordan Palmer, a UTEP Hall of Famer and former star QB, delivered one of the most efficient college passing performances in history: 11,041 passing yards (2nd at UTEP), 136.26 passer rating (#1 nationally), 59.6% completion rate, and 2nd in TDs. His differentiators include elite decision-making under pressure, calm leadership, and a brotherly intensity shaped by growing up alongside Heisman winner Carson Palmer. Though he never played a full NFL season (0–2 TD–INT, 66 yards), his college intensity and personality make him a high-fit mentor or developmental QB for any team seeking precision and resilience. No major injury history is recorded, and his post-college role as XFL Director of QB Development confirms his strategic IQ and coaching appeal.
