Who are college football’s best quarterbacks? As preseason camps around the country come to a close and we enter the first games of the 2024 season, I have gone through every Power Four starting quarterback and come up with a list of the top signal-callers.
The list is based off whom I would draft to start a college football program right now. I placed an emphasis on experience, win/loss record and critical situational outcomes like third and fourth down, fourth-down conversion rate, red-zone efficiency, fourth-quarter performance and NFL throw rate. Basic game-winning stats like touchdown-to-interception ratio and completion percentage were all taken into account as well.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers’ perimeter arm talent is on another level compared to the rest of college football. There’s much more nuance to the quarterback position than just having a big arm, and Ewers has steadily grown in areas like complete field ownership to being more surgical and exact from the position.
