Even with the value placed on superstar receivers and edge rushers in college football, quarterback holds a weight unlike any other position in sports. A great quarterback can change everything for their team, and signal-callers in this generation are arriving on campus more developed than ever.
However, putting together a talented quarterback room is harder than ever in 2022. Blue-chip passers rarely stay for multiple seasons after losing starting jobs. Players with significant experience often move on to find greener pastures. The programs that can curate talented rooms stand apart.

Bryce Young was sensational in his first season as a starter, completing 66.9% of his passes for 4,872 yards passing and 47 touchdowns. He threw for more than 300 yards 10 times, including a 369-yard performance in the College Football Playoff National Championship and 421 yards and three scores in the SEC title game. The depth behind Young is green, but Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson were among the most pursued players in the nation. If Simpson and Milroe are good enough for Nick Saban, we trust them.
Key players: C.J. Stroud, Kyle McCord, Devin Brown
