JC French IV brings veteran poise and dual-threat juice to Cincinnati
In the 2026 season, JC French IV has opened at Cincinnati with a clean, efficient start: 10 completions on 14 attempts for 77 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions, plus 52 rushing yards on the ground[1][10][15]. The big draw is his experience — he arrived after three years at Georgia Southern, where he threw for 5,882 passing yards and 38 touchdowns from 2023-2025, and coaches praise him as a seasoned, confident leader who adds mobility and a competitive edge to the offense[7][13].
