27 Of 35: The Keegan Croucher Number That Actually Matters

Episode Summary

Two arguments about the Ole Miss quarterback recruiting class — and neither of them is the commitment story you have already heard this morning. Segment one: over his last two games Keegan Croucher went 27-of-35 for 551 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions. That is roughly 77 percent, and it is not screen-game volume. On3 has him the No. 10 quarterback in the 2027 class — a ranking, not a prediction. Accuracy under structure is the trait that shows up early and mostly stays. Segment two: Ole Miss also has Crews Jenkins out of Brentwood Academy in the same class. Two quarterbacks in one cycle reads as a hedge and is not one. A room with two signees is a room that survives one December phone call — which is the only way anyone builds a quarterback depth chart in the portal era. The honest counterweight, twice: high school completion percentages are inflated by schemes designed to inflate them; and signing two quarterbacks is also how you guarantee one of them eventually leaves.
