Stanford\u2019s quarterback room will have more depth this season with Charlie Mirer<\/a> being put on scholarship through fall quarter 2026, which means he\u2019ll be back for one more season. Mirer was a redshirt junior last season and will be a redshirt senior this upcoming season.<\/p>\n Mirer got his first snaps of his career in Stanford\u2019s loss to Notre Dame in the final game of the 2025 season. Mirer went 2-3 for 22 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions for a passing efficiency rating of 238.3. Mirer also had a nice 30 yard run, showing off his ability to run.<\/p>\n While Mirer is projected to be a reserve quarterback again this year, he is at the same time a veteran guy who has been around the college game for a while. He also showed good mobility against Notre Dame and made the most of the limited opportunity that he did get, finding the end zone. With rising redshirt junior Dylan Rizk unable to get a snap all season last year and Elijah Brown transferring out to Washington, there is a chance that Mirer could at a minimum compete for the backup quarterback job (assuming Davis Warren <\/a>wins the job handily). Incoming freshman Mike Mitchell Jr. will also be in the mix. <\/p>\n Looking ahead to the spring, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how Mirer does in Pritchard\u2019s offense and whether or not over the course of the spring and subsequent fall camp, he\u2019s able to make a case to be the backup quarterback. Regardless, Mirer adds more depth at the quarterback spot and a veteran arm. That alone gives him value to this Cardinal team for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n Note: Cardinal Sports Report has you covered for all the latest news on Stanford as they begin the Tavita Pritchard era.<\/p>\n Join Cardinal Sports Report today for $1 and enjoy a complimentary year of The Athletic\u00a0 \u2013 included with your membership.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss out on this great offer!<\/p>\n Sign up here: <\/a>https:\/\/www.on3.com\/sites\/cardinal-sports-report\/join\/<\/a><\/p>\n CardinalSportsReport.com<\/a> on Facebook, IG, Threads, X (Twitter), & Bluesky: @StanfordRivals<\/p>\n Ben Parker on Facebook, IG, Threads, X (Twitter), YouTube, & Bluesky: @slamdunk406<\/p>\n
