Cole Meehan, Merrimack QB: the 2026 season story
Cole Meehan is a junior quarterback for Merrimack (FCS Independents). He ranks 354th 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. Cole Meehan's strongest measure is rush yards per game at 4, 132nd of 181 (the average is 20). His weakest is pass TD per game at 0.0, 182nd of 181 (the average is 1.2).
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, 38, ranks 182nd 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 14th percentile for volume, 6th for efficiency and 1st 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 6 games, Cole Meehan's best came in week 3 at Tarleton State and his quietest in week 10 at Wake Forest.
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. Cole Meehan is 173rd of 184 FCS quarterbacks and 3rd of 3 in FCS Independents. Next up nationally is Daniel Lipovski of Lafayette, 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 Abram Johnston of Northwestern State.
