Parker Navarro is Ohio’s dual-threat engine, but ball security will decide his next leap
In the 2025 season, Navarro was the Bobcats’ offensive heartbeat, throwing for 2,375 yards and 14 touchdowns while rushing for 886 yards and 9 scores across 13 starts; in 2024, he was even more explosive on the ground with 1,054 rushing yards and 18 rushing TDs. His biggest differentiator is legit QB run-game stress: he forces defenses to account for him as a designed-run threat, not just a pocket passer. The flip side is turnover risk, with 11 interceptions in each of the past two seasons. If your system prizes toughness, mobility, and captain-level leadership, he fits; if you need a pure distributor, proceed with caution.
