Villanova’s steady, high-IQ QB with legit production and a courtroom-sized plot twist
Pat McQuaide is a polished, experienced quarterback for Villanova whose best traits are football IQ, decisiveness, and steady command of the offense; Villanova’s roster notes describe him as a “high football IQ” passer with “good football instincts” and a “decisive decision maker.” In the 2025 season at Nicholls and Villanova, he totaled 3,092 passing yards, 24 touchdown passes, and just 4 interceptions on 59.0% completions, showing efficient, win-ready play. The big caveat is availability: his 2026 eligibility has been contested in court and by the Patriot League, so teams need to value the player and the paperwork.
