Beau Brungard is the FCS’s ultimate dual-threat headache
In 2025, Youngstown State’s Beau Brungard won the Walter Payton Award after piling up 3,230 passing yards, 26 passing TDs, 1,468 rushing yards and 27 rushing TDs, then opened 2026 by accounting for five scores in a 43-10 win over Mercyhurst. He’s not just productive; he’s a tone-setter with rare run-pass stress, efficient ball security, and the kind of “keep the play alive” grit that tilts games. If your team wants a QB who can carry an offense and punish defensive mistakes, he’s absolutely the real deal.
