J.D. Almond brings efficient, deep-ball upside to Northwestern State’s quarterback room
In his Northwestern State stint, J.D. Almond showed a workable passing base, completing 54.5% of his throws for 442 yards and 2 touchdowns, with two noticeable chunk plays — a 36-yarder and a 79-yarder — that hint at vertical upside.[2] He stands out more for his arm strength and willingness to push the ball than for volume production, so he fits best as a developmental QB who can create explosive plays if the system matches his skill set.[2] The “Demon of the Day” feature also suggests the program viewed him as a notable personality within the team, not just a stat line.[1]
