Walker Eget, Duke QB: the 2026 season story
Walker Eget is a senior quarterback for Duke (ACC). He ranks 112th 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. Walker Eget's strongest measure is pass success rate at 48%, 75th of 181 (the average is 46%). His weakest is rush yards per game at -2, 156th of 181 (the average is 20).
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, 194, ranks 80th 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 35th percentile for volume, 56th for efficiency and 40th 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 9 games, Walker Eget's best came in week 2 at Illinois and his quietest in week 1 against Tulane.
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. Walker Eget is 91st of 181 FBS quarterbacks and 13th of 19 in the ACC. Next up nationally is Colton Joseph of Wisconsin, 0.02 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. Past seasons show whether this year is a breakout, a steady climb or a step back. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at San José State, 98th of 389 quarterbacks.
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 Luke Fahey of Ohio State.
