Efficient Ivy League QB with poise, accuracy, and low-risk decision-making
Hempel was a smart, efficient Harvard quarterback who helped power a 9-1 season and share of the 2013 Ivy League title, then followed it with 1,866 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, five rushing scores, and only five interceptions in 2014 despite missing two games. He stands out for accuracy and ball security—he finished his Harvard career as the program’s all-time leader in completion percentage—and his profile suggests a calm, game-managing passer who can elevate a disciplined offense rather than dominate with raw arm talent.
