Method

Read against .

  • Who played is read from the schools’ box scores’ participation lists, which name every player who entered the game.
  • With him means he was the team’s quarterback that game, at least half of its pass attempts; a game he left early or came into late reads as without him.
  • 17 games in 2024 and 2025 are neither with Jaxon Smolik nor without Jaxon Smolik: Jaxon Smolik had no game for the team those seasons, and sit out.
