Jaxon Dailey named starting QB at Northern Iowa

Northern Iowa coach Todd Stepsis says red-shirt senior Jaxon Dailey is the starter at quarterback as the Panthers continue spring drills. Dailey started the final four games of the 2025 season and finished with more than 820 yards of passing and nearly 240 yards on the ground.

Stepsis says it is a plus to know who the starter is at quarterback.

Stepsis says Dailey’s leadership ability has helped set the standard in spring drills.

UNI’s spring game is Saturday.
