In the 2023 season, Keegan Shoemaker was Sam Houston’s workhorse QB, starting 11 games and throwing for 2,507 yards with 15 touchdowns while adding 254 rushing yards and a score. He’s a classic rhythm passer with enough mobility to stress defenses, and his 63.0% completion rate shows real efficiency for a first-year FBS Bearkats offense. The fit question? If you want a quarterback who can handle volume, stay composed, and bring dual-threat value, Shoemaker checks a lot of boxes—but the 11 interceptions hint he’s best in a structured system, not chaos.
