Army QB Santiago Fernandez fits the Black Knights’ run-heavy DNA
In the 2026 season, freshman quarterback Santiago Fernandez brings a 6-3, 208-pound frame, dual-threat mobility, and a style that meshes cleanly with Army’s option-heavy attack. His high school track record suggests upside as both a runner and passer, and reports noted his comfort in a spread/RPO system plus the maturity to choose West Point for academics as much as football. He looks like a fit for a disciplined, physical program that values toughness, decision-making, and athletic quarterbacks who can stress defenses with their legs.
