Jake Tripptree, New Haven QB: the 2026 season story

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. Jake Tripptree's strongest measure is pass success rate at 47%, 91st of 181 (the average is 46%). His weakest is yards per attempt at 4.4, 176th 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, 100, 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 10th percentile for volume, 20th for efficiency and 11th 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 5 games, Jake Tripptree's best came in week 2 at South Dakota State and his quietest in week 8 at Central Connecticut.
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.

Jake Tripptree is 115th of 184 FCS quarterbacks and 5th of 11 in the NEC. Next up nationally is David Lynch of Holy Cross, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Quarterbacks like him
