Conner Kempe brings veteran size, volume, and big-game experience to Dartmouth’s QB room
Kempe is a seasoned 6-foot-4, 225-pound senior who enters the 2026 season sixth on Dartmouth’s all-time passing list and on pace to chase the program’s rare 5,000-yard club[1]. In the 2010 season, he was already viewed as one of the Ivy League’s most experienced quarterbacks, and his profile has long been defined by arm strength, durability, and the ability to handle heavy passing volume[1][12]. The care factor: he looks like a plug-and-play fit for a team needing a mature field general, though his history also shows he can be pressured into mistakes when forced to do too much[11].
