Parker Navarro News, Rumors, Updates - Ohio Bobcats

Enters transfer portal Navarro has entered the transfer portal, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Impact After a successful pair of seasons as the Bobcats' signal caller, Navarro will look for a new program for the 2026 season. He passed for 2,375 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions and rushed for 886 yards and nine touchdowns across 13 starts this past season. He figures to be a popular name in the portal and could make the jump to being a Power 4 starter given his success with Ohio.

Somewhat down senior season Navarro completed 11 of 15 passes for 143 yards and one interception during Tuesday's 17-10 victory against UNLV. He also had 12 rushes for 43 yards with one touchdown.

Impact In terms of passing, Navarro's 2024 and 2025 seasons are not much different. In both seasons, he logged somewhere between 2,300 and 2,500 passing yards for either 13 or 14 touchdowns to go with exactly 11 interceptions. In 2024, Navarro's running elevated him to the upper echelon of FBS quarterbacks, but that was not the case during 2025. Despite the same number of rushing attempts, he logged far fewer yards and twice as fewer touchdowns. Still, Navarro logged well over 3,000 passing yards and precisely 23 total touchdowns.

Deals both ways in finale win Navarro was 10-for-23 passing for 147 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Friday's 31-26 victory against Buffalo. He also had 18 rushes for 121 yards with one touchdo...

Impact Navarro showcased his dual-threat abilities in the Bobcats' regular-season finale. The starting quarterback not only recorded his fourth multi-touchdown game of the year, but he also surpassed 100 yards on the ground and punched in a score. The redshirt senior did recently file a waiver for an additional year of eligibility, so this campaign may not be his last. He'll finish out the regular season with mostly lower numbers than last year, completing 177 of 288 passes for 2,232 yards, 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, along with 149 rushes for 843 yards and eight touchdowns.

Files waiver for another year Navarro has filed for a seventh year of collegiate eligibility, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact If Navarro is successful in getting a seventh year of collegiate eligibility, he would enter 2026 as one of college football's most proven and better quarterbacks for the year. In 2024 and 2025, he has logged over 2,000 passing yards with at least 12 touchdowns. Even though 2025 has seen Navarro slightly slip in terms of rushing numbers, he still possesses seven TDs off 131 carries for 722 yards.

Two rushing TDs in blowout Navarro was 3-for-8 passing for 28 yards during Tuesday's 42-14 win against Massachusetts. He also had 14 rushes for 81 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact While Navarro's passing stats from the matchup appear abysmal, he didn't need to do much in the air to deliver the Bobcats a win. The deal-threat quarterback instead took his efforts to the ground, where he punched in two touchdowns for the second time this season. He hasn't been able to deliver as a rusher as well as he did last season, but the redshirt senior has still led Ohio to a 5-2 MAC record. Navarro will look to keep his squad in the win column next Friday at Buffalo.

Struggles as passer in loss Navarro was 8-for-19 passing for 70 yards and one interception during Tuesday's 17-13 loss against Western Michigan. He also had 18 rushes for 105 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Navarro's shakiness as a passer continued against the Broncos, and it contributed to a loss, despite a salvaged rushing performance. The starting quarterback's totals as a passer last season were similar to the pace he's on this year, but he was at least extremely dominant on the ground. He's unfortunately not been as solid a rusher this year, with just five rushing scores across 10 games, compared to 11 at this point last year. Navarro has fortunately still led the Bobcats to a 4-2 MAC record, which could go somewhere if he can close out the season with two more wins.

Delivers win amidst struggles Navarro was 16-for-31 passing for 201 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Tuesday's 24-20 win over Miami (OH). He also had eight rushes for 32 yards.

Impact Navarro ended up getting the win over the RedHawks, but he still struggled. The starting quarterback has thrown for two touchdowns in just two of his last eighr games, and he has only three rushing scores in that stretch. The dual-threat quarterback has also not been close to his level of play last season, as he had nine rushing touchdowns at this point last season versus four this year. The Bobcats have still been a force in the MAC, so Navarro will hopefully get things locked in to finish the season in the next three showings.

Sneaks win for Bobcats Navarro was 23-for-28 passing for 315 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 28-21 victory over Eastern Michigan. He also had 17 rushes for 63 yards.

Impact Navarro pieced together an impressive 315 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles, but he also struggled on the passing front with two picks. The dual-threat quarterback also tacked on a solid rushing day, although he was unable to find the end zone. Navarro has now thrown for 1,786 yards with a 11:7 TD:INT ratio, along with rushing 91 times for 504 yards and four touchdowns this campaign.

Decent showing in blowout Navarro completed 17 of 23 passes for 205 yards and one interception during Saturday's 48-21 win versus Northern Illinois. He also had nine rushes for 43 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Navarro couldn't get things going on the passing front against the Huskies, although he didn't really need to given that the Bobcats let big for most of the game. The starting quarterback also remedied his zero-touchdown passing game with a rushing score, but he was overshadowed by Ohio's running backs. Navarro will need to play more sound next week if he hopes to beat Eastern Michigan.

Held in check vs. Cardinals Navarro completed 16 of 29 passes for 188 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-14 defeat to Ball State. He also had 13 rushes for 77 yards.

Impact Navarro didn't have an awful game against the Cardinals, but he didn't do enough to get the Bobcats the win. The starting quarterback logged his second-worst passing yard total of the season, and he couldn't find the end zone even with 13 rushes. He'll look to bounce back against Northern Illinois after Ohio's bye week.

Impact Navarro put together a beast performance in the conference opener win both as a passer and a rusher. The dual-threat starter dished his two passing touchdowns in the first and second quarter, and then he showcased his dominance on the ground with two rushing touchdowns in the second half. Navarro struggled against some tougher non-conference opponents earlier this season, but it appears he's ready to roll now against conference squads. He'll take on Ball State in an away matchup this upcoming Saturday.

Impact Navarro was extremely solid in the win over the Bulldogs, finishing the game with his best passing yard total of the season.

The established dual-threat quarterback will look to continue his dominance against Bowling Green this upcoming Saturday.

94 passing yards vs. Buckeyes Navarro completed 6 of 13 passes for 94 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-9 loss against Ohio State. He also had five rushes for three yards.

Impact Navarro was shut down by a tough Buckeyes defense, finishing the game with under 100 passing yards. The dual-threat quarterback also wasn't able to tap into his usual rushing upside, with just five rushes for three yards. He should have an easier time getting things going as the Bobcats take on Gardner-Webb this upcoming Saturday.
