Ryan Huff, Old Dominion QB: the 2026 season story
Ryan Huff is a freshman quarterback for Old Dominion (Sun Belt). He ranks 283rd 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. Ryan Huff's strongest measure is yards per attempt at 7.0, 96th of 181 (the average is 7.3). His weakest is rush yards per game at -16, 181st of 181 (the average is 20).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His pass yards per game, 104, ranks 157th 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 7th percentile for volume, 19th for efficiency and 14th 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 4 games, Ryan Huff's best came in week 7 against Georgia Southern and his quietest in week 5 at Georgia State.
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. Ryan Huff is 170th of 181 FBS quarterbacks and 19th of 22 in the Sun Belt. Next up nationally is Jadyn Glasser of Central Michigan, 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 Kadin Semonza of Tulane.
