Dual-Threat QB with Elite High School Pedigree Seeks Consistency at Next Level
Hockaday arrives at Eastern Illinois as a proven winner—he led Maroa-Forsyth to an Illinois 2A state championship as a senior, throwing for 2,844 yards and 39 TDs. The dual-threat QB demonstrated arm talent across his high school career (1,600+ yards as a sophomore, 2,450 yards and 35 TDs as a junior). At EIU, he'll compete for the starting role and needs to translate his high school success to the college level. His biggest differentiator: championship DNA and prolific passing numbers. Key question: Can he maintain consistency and decision-making against stiffer competition?
