Gardner-Webb’s dual-threat QB with rare run-game juice and proven big-play upside
Tyrell Maxwell has long been one of Gardner-Webb’s most dangerous chess pieces: a 6-foot-2, 231-pound quarterback with verified 4.5 speed, program-record production on the ground for a QB, and a reputation as a tone-setting leader who can hurt defenses with both his legs and arm. In his career, he’s been described by the program as an explosive, all-conference-caliber playmaker and a top rushing quarterback in Big South history, which makes him a fit for teams wanting a physical, creative, high-upside dual-threat who can stress defenses on every snap.
