Army’s next-man-up QB with real live-arm pop
Cade Ballard is a development-friendly Army quarterback whose best trait is making the offense dangerous when the ball leaves his hand—he showed that in 2022 by throwing for 363 yards, 2 touchdowns, and a 115.4 passer rating, and recent 2026 reporting suggests he’s still in the mix for snaps after a strong relief outing against UTSA. He’s the kind of QB who brings toughness, mobility, and upside in a system that values discipline and execution over flash, which makes him a fit if you want a resilient, team-first operator who can spark an offense when called upon.
