Eddie Buehler, Maine QB: the 2026 season story
Eddie Buehler is a sophomore quarterback for Maine (Coastal Athletic). He ranks 333rd 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. Every measure is set against every ranked quarterback, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Eddie Buehler's strongest measure is rush yards per game at -1, 150th of 181 (the average is 20). His weakest is yards per attempt at 3.5, 181st of 181 (the average is 7.3).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His pass yards per game, 101, ranks 158th among 181 ranked quarterbacks.
Against every quarterback
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked quarterbacks he sits, on average, in the 16th percentile for volume, 5th for efficiency and 12th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 7 games, Eddie Buehler's best came in week 1 at Towson and his quietest in week 2 against Merrimack.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every quarterback on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Eddie Buehler is 153rd of 184 FCS quarterbacks and 18th of 20 in the Coastal Athletic. Next up nationally is Emmett Dowling of Bucknell, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Quarterbacks like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Daniel Lipovski of Lafayette.
