Dammit Dave you had one job this season!

Navy's Blake Horvath is elite college football quarterback who earns no NIL money​

Consider these rankings.

At No. 10 is D.J. Lagway, a five-star recruit from a year ago, a trendy Heisman pick who likely saved Billy Napier’s job and has Florida fans legitimately excited for the first time in years.

At No. 9 is Arch Manning, the most recognizable player in college football, as close to a Chosen One as has existed in football for a long while.

At No. 8 is Blake Horvath. Navy’s quarterback.

That’s the way EA Sports College Football 26 ranked those three quarterbacks ahead of the game’s release this summer, putting Horvath in an elite tier next to the game’s best. He’s part of a top 10 that includes Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier and the rest of the names you’d recognize.

This being college football in 2025, that means everyone on that level is being well-compensated. It’s probably conservative to estimate that every elite quarterback in the country is at least a millionaire, with plenty of those names earning way more than that. Duke quarterback Darian Mensah is making a reported $4 million a year. Klubnik has an NIL valuation of $3.3 million, per On3. Manning is estimated to make more than $6 million.

“It’s funny sometimes to look around and be like, ‘Wow, that guy’s getting $6 million, that guy’s getting $4 million,” Horvath said at American Conference media days in July.

Horvath’s valuation is simple, and it isn’t an estimate. It’s $0.

Athletes at service academies are considered government employees and are not allowed to make money off their name, image and likeness. The service academies are also barred from opting into the House v. NCAA settlement that allowed schools to directly pay athletes for the first time.

“There was never a thought in my mind to leave,” he said. “I don’t think there’s another quarterback or player in the country who’s a better fit for a system than I am at Navy.”

Unlike Manning and Lagway, Horvath was not a five-star recruit. He grew up just outside Columbus, Ohio, born into a family of diehard Buckeye fans. It’d take longer to list the members of his extended family who didn’t go to Ohio State.

A three sport athlete (basketball, baseball and football), Horvath ran the triple-option offense at Hilliard Darby High School. Former coach John Santagata estimates they’d throw the ball an average of five times a game.

Just sayin': Anyone else a Horvath fan?

scarletandgame is sensationalist trash

Terrible trade for the Pack.

Micah is a head case and paying $188M on top of (2) first rounders and a solid DT…..it’s pricey.

Frustrated the Browns didn’t trade Myles Garrett if that’s the type of return they could’ve gotten.

This is really interesting because just this morning I watched the Greg Olsen interview with Ryan Day (I just posted it in the Ryan Day thread). The very next thread I read was this one. Hearing Day talk about the expectations he has of his coaches and then reading Fat Tony taking his shot at Day (knowing that Alford's frustration is coming from not meeting those expectations) is illuminating.

One things is for certain, Fat Tony is not in the better place, but he sure is in the right place for him.

Hornyak’s 86-Point Game Lives On​

Just weird. Have to give it to him. Many coaches wouldn't move backwards to potentially move forward, and instead would take some analyst type role.

Pelini went to YSU because he had F U money courtesy of Nebraska, and his kids went to Mooney.

This is just flat out trying to stay relevant.

Kind of rooting for Yurcich.

I have known so many degenerate gamblers. Makes me think that normal people who do it as a hobby are not the exception.

They aren't. Many people essentially micro transaction themselves into the red playing parlays.

It's hard to give up on a Nazi who can hit a hole when he already knows where that hole is going to be presnap. Do the Jets really know what they're losing here?

He spoke at the HS where my wife worked. It was mainly for at-risk young men, but anyone could come. Inspiring she said.
