Day and Kelly also have options for the future in Sayin and Noland, ESPN's Nos. 2 and 5 quarterback prospects in the 2023 class. Sayin signed with Alabama in December but transferred to Ohio State following the coaching change in Tuscaloosa. He should compete with Noland, who committed to the Buckeyes in April, as early as the 2025 offseason. Although Ohio State might not be able to realistically keep both young quarterbacks, the team has options through 2026 that most teams would crave.
Moss isn't guaranteed the QB1 spot, though, especially after USC added UNLV transfer Jayden Maiava, who originally was headed for Georgia before reversing course. Maiava had 3,085 passing yards with 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last fall for the Rebels, who made a surprise run to the Mountain West title game. Like Moss, he has multiple seasons of eligibility remaining.
Remember the Les Miles years, when LSU cycled through quarterbacks and the QB room held back the team from reaching its potential? Since 2019, LSU has produced two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in Joe Burrow and, and ranks No. 2 nationally in passing during the span, trailing only USC. A program known better for defensive backs, running backs and wide receivers is now more entrenched at quarterback.
The redshirt sophomore must adjust to a new coaching staff led by Brent Brennan and featuring Dino Babers, the former Syracuse and Bowling Green coach, as offensive coordinator. Fifita once again will be throwing passes to standout receiver. He could lead the offense through 2026. Depth is an immediate concern, although Arizona has retained Brayden Dorman, an ESPN 300 recruit in 2023 who initially entered the portal in January after Fisch's departure to Washington.
Sophomore Brandon Rose enters his third season in the program, but has yet to see the field in a game after taking a medical redshirt in 2023 because of an injury in a preseason scrimmage. Rose might have secured the backup spot last season if not for the injury. Senior Luke Bottari, who led the offense in the 2023 regular-season finale, gives Utah another veteran option in the short term.
Eliah Drinkwitz landed the Missouri coaching job at age 36 largely because of how he could develop quarterbacks. After three seasons of most unremarkable quarterback play, Drinkwitz delivered last fall with Cook, who had 3,317 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, only 5 interceptions and a rating of 157.2, the third best in team history. Cook had nine games with 200 or more passing yards and continued to hurt defenses with his legs.
SMU is in a fascinating spot overall, coming off its first league title since 1984 but also returning to a major conference as an ACC member, beginning with the 2024 season. The Mustangs make the jump with a proven quarterback in Stone, who had 3,197 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions before suffering a broken leg in the team's regular-season finale.
