Max Bortenschlager brought downfield juice to FIU, with elite yards-per-completion pop in 2021
Bortenschlager’s calling card was explosive passing: in 2021 at FIU, he led the nation in yards per completion at 19.5 and ranked eighth in FBS with 1,834 passing yards, showing he could stretch defenses vertically and create chunk plays[1]. He also earned the starting nod in two of his five appearances that season, suggesting coaches trusted him in key moments[5]. The fit question is simple: if your team wants a quarterback who can attack deep and push tempo, he brings value; if you need a pure high-volume distributor or a long-term, injury-proof build, his profile is more situational than elite.[2][5]
