Projected 50+ newcomers again. 0-11 is in play. 2-9 is more what id expect. 4-7 would be awesome. 6-5 is the absolute ceiling
I have never heard of Lawrence Tech.
who is projected to be the starting QB?

Lawrence Tech = NAIA, 2-8 in 2025. Southfield, MI.
Hopefully, Paul will publish his last remaining piece on the 2026 team - Incoming Transfers. It must have gotten lost along the way QB Noah Eherlich was a centerpiece of that article.
Probably waiting for roster to be finalized. 7-8 guys always join for camp. Know Ethan Sathers DL from Western Illinois is coming.
In terms of starting QB. My guess is Keefe.
Taking a look at the QB situation.
#2 Rowan Keefe is the returning starter. Lost his spot to Caron in 2024, started through an abysmal 2025. With staff liking continuity, I would imagine he is QB1 to start season
Noah Ehrlich comes in as the third highest recruited player in rivals era to Valpo (Tyler Day/Robert Washington). Did not wow in the spring game. Will be hard pressed to keep off the field.
Marcus Brown and Nathan Downey are the returning depth pieces who saw time. Nathan fits the offense better and was allowed to finish a game, would imagine he is QB3. Brown could play situationally with speed.
Johnny DiBlassio is the lone QB to return with zero snaps. Bo Brunner is the freshman. Don’t see a world where either see meaningful snaps in 2026.
