Akron's Historic QB with Elite Passing Yardage, Now Deceased
Chris Jacquemain, the former Akron Zips quarterback from Mentor, OH, is no longer active as he passed away in 2011, making current performance analysis impossible; however, his legacy remains defined by one of the best seasons in Akron history (2009), where he threw for 2,748 yards and 20 touchdowns, ranking fourth and third on the UA season lists respectively, while accumulating 4,691 career passing yards and 35 total TDs [1][2][4]; his differentiators included a strong arm and high-volume offense generation, though his career ended abruptly due to suspension, and his intense, competitive personality was noted before his untimely death [1][6][8]; while he was a top fit for teams seeking a high-yardage passer in the MAC during his era, he is not available for any current team.
