Quarterbacks

#1 — Darian Mensah, QB, Miami (6'3", 205 lbs)

9/4 - (Stanford) - Mensah was very impressive. The gaudy stat line of 27 for 30 with 401 yards passing across 5 TDs speaks volumes. But his play matched it. He made a number of great pre-snap reads and consistently took what the defense gave him. He threw the ball with good touch and velocity, looked very comfortable running his offense.

#2 — Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss (6'0", 205 lbs)

9/19 - (LSU) - Chambliss played a terrific game. Aside from throwing an INT when getting hit, taking a sack vs. throwing the ball away and being off on a few passes, he was near flawless. He distributed the ball extremely well, zipped and or placed the ball into some tight windows. He was great with his legs, kept the defense on their heels all game. The was the single best QB performance I've seen so far this season. He went 33 for 48 with 363 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT.

#3 — Drew Mestemaker, QB, Oklahoma State (6'4", 211 lbs)

#4 — CJ Carr, QB, Notre Dame (6'3", 210 lbs)

9/6 - (Wisconsin) - Carr looked pretty vanilla for much of this game, but there was some good. He went 19 for 29 with 239 yards, 2 TDs. Especially in the early part of this game, he stared receivers down with no progression work, simply went with the predetermined target. As the game went on, he did start to throw the ball more downfield with some anticipation, benefited from some mediocre defense and solid WR play. What I did like was how he took what the defense gave him. He was good with check-downs, hit nine different targets. He game-managed thins well, which often produces wins in the NFL.

#5 — Arch Manning, QB, Texas (6'4", 225 lbs)

9/12 - (Ohio State) - This was a very yup and down game for Manning. He was inconsistent handling pressure, taking a head-scratching sack on one scramble, but looking clutch other times. His accuracy was off on some throws, but was very tight on others. He didn't locate wide open targets at times, but made good reads and decisions on other opportunities. All said, he was on point down the stretch and showed a lot to bring his team back from 20 down to win. He went 23 for 37 with 195 yards, 1 TD 1 INT. He had 8 carries for 24 yards.

#6 — Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (6'3", 206 lbs)

9/5 - (Boise State) - Moore started off a bit shaky, but hit his stride as the game progressed. He went 28 for 37 with 378 yards, 3 TDs. While YAC yards inflate the stat line, he did his part. He read the defense well and made some good touch throws. He distributed the ball well among his top four targets, showed some decent pocket awareness. He didn't need to rely on goin through progressions, which will be something to watch.

#7 — Brendan Sorsby, QB, Texas Tech (6'3", 235 lbs)

#8 — Jayden Maiava, QB, USC (6'4", 230 lbs)

8/29 - (San Jose State) - Maiva had a very good game. Outside of floating a couple of balls he was near flawless, He went 25 for 29 with 286 yards, 2 TDs. He read the field well and distributed the ball around the field with precision.

9/26 - (Oregon) - Maiava was decent to solid overall, going 23 for 42 with 326 yards, 2 TDS, 1 INT. To his credit, he had a number of good reads and throws, looked very capable at times. However, he also didn't flash the "it" factor to take over the game. He had some accuracy issues and wasn't able to compromise the Oregon defense opportunistically enough.

#9 — Sam Leavitt, QB, LSU (6'2", 205 lbs)

9/5 - (Clemson) - As a whole, Leavitt showed a lot in this one. Throwing the ball, he went 16 for 28 with 230 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Early on his accuracy was lacking and he was rattled. After a couple drives, he started to settle in and find a bit of a groove. His pocket presence greatly improved, and he became deadly with his legs. He ran the ball 12 times for 113 yards, scored 2 TDs.

9/19 - (Ole Miss) - Leavitt had a subpar game. While he flashed athletic ability and was a fighter down the stretch, he was too quick to flee the pocket at times, and had some bad throws to open targets. He looks like he needs more time in college, not NFL ready. He went 16 for 27 with 158 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.

#8 — Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State (6'1", 208 lbs)

9/12 - (Texas) - Sayin had a solid outing. While his accuracy was off at times, he made some good throws and ran his offense well. He went 17 for 32 with 278 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Considering that he was on the road against a very good defense, he showed well.

#11 — LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina (6'3", 240 lbs)

#12 — Drake Lindsey, QB, Minnesota (6'5", 230 lbs)

9/12 - (Miss State) - Lindsey had a very solid game. While he did have some accuracy issues at times, he also had some pinpoint passes against good coverage. He went 31 for 48 for 279 yards. He displayed a strong arm and the ability to thread the needle, went through his reads well.

#13 — Austin Simmons, QB, Missouri (6'4", 220 lbs)

#14 — Lincoln Kienholz, QB, Louisville (6'2", 215 lbs)

#15 — John Mateer, QB, Oklahoma (6'1", 224 lbs)

#17 — Gunner Stockton, QB, Georgia (6'1", 215 lbs)

#18 — Josh Hoover, QB, Indiana (6'2", 200 lbs)

#19 — Aiden Chiles, QB, Northwestern (6'3", 215 lbs)

#20 — Luke Weaver, QB, San Jose State (6'3", 210 lbs)

8/29 - (USC) - Weaver had a very good game, often looking as good as Jayden Maiava (who impressed as well), threading the ball in tight windows. Weaver started of a bit rattled in Q1 but found his groove from there on. He made great reads, and whipped the ball around the field with tight accuracy. He avoided pressure well with his legs, bought enough time to get ground yards or find an open target. He went 21 for 32 with 234 yards. He also had 8 carries for 42 yards and 1 TD.

#21 — Conner Weigman, QB, Houston (6'3", 215 lbs)

#22 — Beau Pribula, QB, Virginia (6'2", 210 lbs)

8/29 - (NC State) - Pribula had a solid outing overall. He wasn't asked to throw much but went 11 for 13 with 155 yards 2 TDs. While accurate as as passer, he truly did more damage with his legs on designed run plays (draws). He had 15 carries for 110 yards.

#23 — Byrum Brown, QB, Auburn (6'3", 231 lbs)

#24 — DJ Lagway, QB, Baylor (6'3", 245 lbs)
