Coulter Cleland gives Davidson a live-wire QB with proven big-play punch
In the 2025 season, Coulter Cleland emerged as Davidson’s clear engine at quarterback, throwing for 2,117 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 183 rushing yards, and his 2024 opener before injury showed he can operate efficiently when healthy. He’s a 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior with a quick-release, spread-the-ball approach and a knack for occasional explosive passing outings, but the 11 interceptions and 55.8% completion rate show he’s still more “high-upside playmaker” than polished finished product. For a team needing toughness, arm talent, and a QB who can elevate an offense, he’s absolutely worth a look.
