FIU’s experienced depth QB is a smart, high-GPA grinder with upside as a steady locker-room presence
In the 2026 season, Zachary Waters is FIU’s veteran QB depth option: a redshirt junior from Boca Raton who has appeared in one game and hasn’t posted game stats yet, but brings experience, size (6-0, 195), and a reputation as a dependable program guy. He was recognized on FIU’s 2026 NFF Hampshire Honor Society list with a 3.87 GPA, and local coverage notes he’s the only quarterback in the room who has actually worn the FIU uniform, even if he’s still chasing his first pass attempt. If you want intelligence, continuity, and a low-drama culture fit, he checks those boxes; if you need proven production, the résumé is still mostly projection.
