College Football 2026: Meet the Seven QBs Poised to Rewrite the FBS Playbook
Josh Hoover, Indiana
Hoover had a disappointing 2025 season at TCU, but there’s reason to think he’ll take well to Bloomington.
The first reason is that everyone takes well to Bloomington under Curt Cignetti. The second is that Hoover’s arm talent here is real: His 78.2% well-thrown ball rate was the fourth-best mark in the Big 12 last year, and he ably avoided sacks despite an often dicey offensive line.

Hoover, now a redshirt senior, is a relative statue who will provide extremely little value with his legs. You won’t see him taking off on a season-changing designed run like Indiana deployed for Fernando Mendoza on the way to their national championship last year. It’s also not like skill-position talent was lacking alongside Hoover at TCU as wide receiver Eric McAlister was one of the best players in the country over the past couple years.
