Tom von Grote brings dual-threat poise to Stetson’s QB room
In the 2026 season opener, Tom von Grote completed 17-of-26 passes for 95 yards in Stetson’s 70-7 loss to South Dakota State, showing he’s the steady hand in an offense still finding its footing[1][4][11]. The bigger sell is his background: at Byron Nelson High School he was a district MVP who threw for 3,331 yards and 38 touchdowns while adding 405 rushing yards and eight scores, so he arrives with real arm talent and functional mobility[6][9][15]. He’s a good fit for teams that want a composed, multi-dimensional QB who can grow into the job rather than forcing highlight-reel chaos[6][15].
