David Parsons, Morehead State QB: the 2026 season story
David Parsons is a sophomore quarterback for Morehead State (Pioneer). He ranks 327th 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. David Parsons's strongest measure is rush yards per game at 10, 111th of 181 (the average is 20). His weakest is yards per attempt at 3.4, 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, 92, ranks 162nd 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 25th percentile for volume, 5th for efficiency and 32nd 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 6 games, David Parsons's best came in week 1 against a non-Division I team and his quietest in week 5 against Valparaiso.
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. David Parsons is 147th of 184 FCS quarterbacks and 12th of 15 in the Pioneer. Next up nationally is Caden Drezek of Maine, 0.05 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 Ean Rodrigue of Nicholls.
