Collin Hurst, West Georgia QB: the 2026 season story
Collin Hurst is a junior quarterback for West Georgia (UAC). He ranks 344th 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. Collin Hurst's strongest measure is completion % at 60%, 122nd of 181 (the average is 62%). His weakest is pass TD per game at 0.1, 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, 65, ranks 175th 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 11th percentile for volume, 12th 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 7 games, Collin Hurst's best came in week 7 against Austin Peay and his quietest in week 8 against Tarleton State.
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. Collin Hurst is 164th of 184 FCS quarterbacks and 9th of 10 in the UAC. Next up nationally is Abram Johnston of Northwestern State, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. Past seasons show whether this year is a breakout, a steady climb or a step back. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at Presbyterian, 95th of 389 quarterbacks.
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 Jim Ogle of Murray State.
