Harvard’s poised backup-turned-playmaker
Pruneau earned notice in his first career start by throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a rushing score against Cornell, showing he can operate Harvard’s offense efficiently and deliver in a high-leverage spot.[1][3] Earlier in his Harvard career, he had a limited but efficient sample—51 completions on 73 attempts for 703 yards and five touchdowns across nine games—which suggests accuracy and composure when called upon.[2] His profile also includes a history of knee injury setbacks, so teams should view him as a savvy, experienced quarterback whose upside depends on health and rhythm.[5][6]
