seasoned Stanford QB with size, experience, and a long development arc
Jack West is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound Stanford quarterback whose value has always been tied to poise, system knowledge, and a sturdy pro-style frame rather than gaudy box-score fireworks. In his Stanford career, he has been a spot starter and depth option behind other quarterbacks, including a 2021 start in which Stanford switched away from him after an uneven outing against Kansas State and then used Tanner McKee against USC. That context matters: West looks more like a steadier, cerebral fit for a structured offense than a high-ceiling dual-threat gamble, and he’s best suited to a team that prizes experience, composure, and QB room stability.
