Andy Staples On3 – June 21, 2024
With just a couple of months until the 2024 college football season begins, Phil Steele released a list of the top 25 freshman quarterbacks. The list is part of his 2024 college football preview magazine that is published annually before each season.
We’ve seen several rookie QBs have success over the years, whether it’s Caleb Williams in 2021 or Johnny Manziel in 2012. This year’s class also brings a lot of promise and probably has some future stars among them, some of whom could play right away.
You can see the full list of the top 25 freshman quarterbacks in college football, according to Phil Steele, below.
Sayin originally committed to Alabama before moving to the Buckeyes following the news of Nick SabanThe withdrawal of He ranks as the No. 2 quarterback in the 2024 cycle according to The On3 Industry Rankinga weighted average using the top four recruiting media companies.
Sayin threw for 2,347 yards, 24 touchdowns and one interception last season as a senior at Carlsbad (CA) High School. He will have competition for the starting job this fall in the form of State of Kansas transfer Will Howard and third year returnee Devin Brown.
Raiola has perhaps the best chance to be a starter of any rookie quarterback in the country this season. The No. 3 quarterback in the class of 2024 will join a Nebraska team that finished 5-7 in 2023 and hasn’t reached a bowl game in the last seven seasons.
Your main competition this fall is Heinrich Haarbergwho led the Cornhuskers to their fifth win with a 5-3 record in eight starts. Raiola remains the more promising of the two, and the battle in fall training camp will be one of the most intriguing in the country.
Lagway is set to enter this season as a backup to Graham Mertzwho returns for his second season as the Gators’ starter. However, as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2024 class according to On3 Industry Rankingoffers the most upside of any of Phil Steele’s top three players.
Lagway brings dual-threat ability having thrown for over 8,000 yards and rushed for over 2,000 throughout his high school career at Willis (TX) High School. The Gators are set to enter their third year under Billy Napier he has yet to record a winning season during his tenure.
It seems unlikely that Davis can make it to the reigning national champions as a rookie and earn the starting job. However, it may not be many years before he finally takes the reins given how talented he is.
Davis is ranked No. 8 in the On3 industry rankings for this class and led Providence Day School to back-to-back state titles in 2022 and 2023. He threw for 3,370 yards and 43 touchdowns as a senior, representing player promise which can. someday become.
Perhaps the best name of any quarterback in this freshman class, Air Noland is the second Ohio State player to appear in Phill Steele’s top 25. That should give Buckeyes fans a lot of optimism about the future of their quarterback group.
Noland also sits at No. 5 in the On3 Industry Rankings, making Ohio State the only school with two quarterbacks in the top five. In addition to their reputation for recruiting top receivers, the Buckeyes should have no trouble remaining one of the best passing offenses in the country.
Carr’s father played football at Michigan and his grandfather is a former Wolverines coach, but he opted to begin his college career in South Bend. There he will have the opportunity to develop as a coach. Marcus Freeman is preparing to enter his third year in charge.
Carr was ranked the No. 6 quarterback in this class after concluding his senior year at Saline (MI) High School. He should benefit from a redshirt season, but could potentially try to earn a starting job as early as next year.
Brown will have the opportunity to compete for a starting job immediately as coach. Troy Taylor He is preparing to begin his second season at the helm. The Cardinal are coming off a 3-9 finish in 2024 and are looking to find an offensive spark after missing a bowl game for five straight seasons.
The 6-foot-1 quarterback played for Mater Dei (CA) High School, where future Heisman winners young bryce, Matt Leinart And before him, there was John Huarte. He will look to follow in his footsteps and return Stanford to the path of victory as it enters the ACC.
Penn State continues to stock up on talented quarterbacks just two seasons after adding Allar drew Grunkemeyer arrives as a four-star prospect from Olentangy (OH) High School as the next player waiting in the wings.
The No. 9 quarterback in the 2024 cycle first saw action during the Blue-White game this spring. He hopes to show Nittany Lions fans a lot more in the coming years once he gains some experience.
Despite being ranked No. 9 on Steele’s list, Kromenhoek is the No. 4 quarterback in the 2024 cycle according to On3’s industry rankings. He chose to attend the Seminoles over offers from Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee and other big names.
Kromenhoek should have plenty of time to develop, as FSU already has his starting spot locked up for next season. However, he figures to be a big part of the coach’s plans. Mike Norvell in the future.
Auburn fans might have found their quarterback of the future with White, who will likely use this year to sit on the bench behind more experienced players. He finished 5 of 13 passing for 83 yards during the Tigers’ spring game, showing the potential of what he can one day be.
The 6-foot-3 four-star recruit from Little Rock (AR) Christian Academy took his time making a state championship appearance as a senior and finished his career with 80 touchdowns. That’s certainly promising for what his college career could hold.
