Key Information
Record Book WatchQuarterback Tionne Harris is pressing towards numerous spots in QU football history. For single season touchdowns, he currently sits at 25, which is one shy of the top spot. Harris could break his own record, which he accomplished in the 2021 season if he throws for two or more touchdowns. The St. Louis, Missouri native has thrown for 2,900 yards and only needs 252 yards to break Andrew Rund's mark of 3,151 yards from the 2019 season. Lastly, should he complete 47 passes, he will break the single season completion mark that currently sits at 258 held by Rund in the 2019 season.
For Harris's career, he has thrown 55 touchdowns, Nick Lonergan (2012-15) holds the current record of 62.
