Dual-threat steadiness gives Northwestern State a live-wire QB
In the 2026 season, Abram Johnston has flashed efficient playmaking for Northwestern State, opening with 30 completions on 42 attempts for 319 yards, 2 passing touchdowns and 1 interception against Louisiana Christian, plus 42 rushing yards and a rushing score[5][15]. He’s a compact dual-threat quarterback who can extend drives with his legs and has enough arm talent to challenge defenses vertically, but his value is in how he keeps the offense on schedule when he’s decisive[2][5]. If you want a QB with competitive toughness and run/pass versatility, he’s worth a look; if you need a pure pocket passer with top-end consistency, he still has work to do[2][5].
