Conor Bruce brings veteran poise and dual-threat juice to Cal Poly’s QB room
In the 2021 season, Conor Bruce showed he can run an offense with efficiency, completing 22 of 38 passes for 290 yards and a touchdown, plus adding 11 rushing yards, and he was also a strong high school athlete whose injury-shortened prep career hints at resilience. His differentiators are mobility, toughness, and experience in an open quarterback competition; Cal Poly listed him as a preseason depth-chart option, and reports noted he earned snaps in relief with a 69-yard, 1-TD cameo against South Dakota. He looks like a good fit for a team that values a composed, athletic QB who can adapt quickly.
