Based on 2025: #8 of 16 Conference USA QBs — his program moves to the Sun Belt for 2026
How the All-Sun Belt estimate is computed
35% estimated, 95% confidence interval 31–38%. Base rate measured from players who finished at a comparable rank in their conference and came back the next season. It is an estimate from a small sample, not a forecast of this player. The base rate was measured on players who stayed in the same conference; this estimate is not adjusted for the move to the Sun Belt.
