Jack Schierholz, Arkansas-Pine Bluff QB: the 2026 season story
Jack Schierholz is a sophomore quarterback for Arkansas-Pine Bluff (SWAC). He ranks 251st of 365 quarterbacks in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every quarterback on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Jack Schierholz's strongest measure is rush yards per game at 19, 78th of 181 (the average is 20). His weakest is pass yards per game at 63, 176th of 181 (the average is 179).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His pass yards per game, 63, ranks 176th among 181 ranked quarterbacks.
Against every quarterback
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of quarterback he is. Among ranked quarterbacks he sits, on average, in the 31st percentile for volume, 22nd for efficiency and 21st for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 7 games, Jack Schierholz's best came in week 3 against a non-Division I team and his quietest in week 7 against Alabama State.
When it matters
Why it matters. Plenty of players produce in easy situations; the ones who keep it up on third down and against good teams are the ones coaches trust.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Jack Schierholz is 95th of 184 FCS quarterbacks and 11th of 16 in the SWAC. Next up nationally is Nate Dahle of Weber State, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Quarterbacks like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Tyrese Smith of Portland State.
