Cade Tessier is Baylor’s long-view quarterback: big frame, blue-collar upside, no game reps yet
In 2026, Cade Tessier is a senior quarterback at Baylor, but his college résumé is still all about development: Baylor lists him at 6-3, 219 and notes he has not appeared in a game yet, while his high-school profile rated him a two-star QB and the 162nd quarterback nationally by 247Sports. That combo makes him intriguing as a project — sturdy build, solid size, and enough recruiting pedigree to keep the door open — but the big differentiator is patience: he’s been a redshirt and a reserve, so the film-and-practice growth matters more than box-score stats. If your team wants a ready-made starter, not the guy; if you want an upside swing with runway, he’s worth a look.
