Anthony Grigsby Jr. is giving Cal Poly efficient QB production with big-play pop
In the 2026 season, Anthony Grigsby Jr. has been Cal Poly’s engine at quarterback, opening with 319 passing yards, 4 passing touchdowns and no interceptions in the opener, while also adding 62 rushing yards and a rushing score[3][4][15]. At 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, he brings dual-threat juice and a quarterback rating profile that suggests he can stress defenses both vertically and on the ground[1][2]. The fit is appealing if a team wants an experienced, mobile QB who can create off-script and protect the ball, though his smaller frame means he has to win with timing, decisiveness and toughness rather than pure size[1][2].
