Danny Lauter (born October 7, 2002) is an American college football quarterback for the Georgetown Hoyas. During his collegiate debut, he set Georgetown’s single-game passing record with 428 yards in his first collegiate start in 2023 and became the Hoyas’ primary starter in 2024.[1]
Early life and high school career
Lauter grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut and attended the Brunswick School.[1] He was an honor roll student, a multi-year starter at quarterback, and earned NEPSAC honors during the 2021 season.[2]
Local coverage described Brunswick building its 2021 offense around Lauter as it entered one of the most competitive schedules in New England.[3] He helped lead the team to the NEPSAC Class A Mike Silipo Bowl game, finishing the year 7–3.[4]
Lauter also played baseball at Brunswick, contributing to a Fairchester Athletic Association championship as a freshman.[1]
In 2020, he was selected for the U.S. Under-18 Select Team and competed in the International Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.[5]
As a recruit, Lauter was rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports.[6] A scouting evaluation on QBHitList highlighted his size, arm strength, accuracy, and mobility.[7]
During his senior year, national football media accounts including ESPN NFL, The Checkdown, NFL Brasil, and MaxPreps published clips of Lauter’s high-school throws on social media.[8][9][10][11]
College career
2022 season
Lauter joined Georgetown in 2022 and redshirted his freshman season.[1]
2023 season
Lauter made his collegiate debut in a start against the Lafayette Leopards on October 28, 2023. He completed 35 of 58 passes for 428 yards and three touchdowns, setting Georgetown’s single-game yardage record and tying its single-game completions record.[12][13]
His performance earned him Patriot League Weekly Honorable Mention recognition.[14]
2024 season
Lauter entered 2024 as Georgetown’s starting quarterback. He completed 177 of 288 passes (61 percent) for 1,871 yards and 11 touchdowns.[1]
He threw for 343 yards against Brown, and later completed 25 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns in a victory over Columbia, helping Georgetown reclaim the Lou Little Trophy.[15]
In a preseason feature before the 2025 season, WTOP described Lauter as returning to lead the Hoyas after a strong 2024 campaign and noted head coach Rob Sgarlata's confidence in him as a senior quarterback.[16]
2025 season
Lauter began the 2025 season as part of Georgetown’s quarterback rotation and played in the Hoyas’ first three games. He helped lead Georgetown to a 51–14 victory over Davidson in the season opener.[17]
In the 2025 season opener against Wagner, Lauter completed 14 of 24 passes for 164 yards and one touchdown in a 31–20 Georgetown victory. [18][19]
On September 13, 2025, Georgetown faced Lafayette in Patriot League play and fell 42-37. Lauter completed 27 of 45 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns, including a late 10-yard scoring pass to Isaiah Grimes in the closing minutes. [20][21]
Independent FCS depth-chart reporting from The Gunslinger Buzz and game previews from RollSpides indicate that Lauter appeared in Georgetown’s first three contests.[22][23]
Later season reporting from The Hoya described the backup quarterback playing in lue of starting quarterback “in place of the injured senior quarterback Danny Lauter,” confirming that Lauter missed subsequent games due to injury.[24]
