1. Drake Maye, UNC

— Clearly the best to me, even though I like Travis. Maye is on a different level seeing the field and running the ball.

Aug 27, 2022; Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback Drake Maye (10) throws the ball against the Florida A&M Rattlers during the second half at Kenan Memorial Stadium.

2. Jordan Travis, Florida State

— He’s emerged as one of the best talents in all of college football and easily one of the best leaders.

Dec 29, 2022; Orlando, Florida, USA; Florida State Seminoles quarterback Jordan Travis (13) drops back to pass against the Oklahoma Sooners in the first quarter during the 2022 Cheez-It Bowl at Camping World Stadium.

3. Riley Leonard, Duke

— This kid is so good, and no one really knows about him. He can beat you with his arm or legs.

Oct 22, 2022; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Duke Blue Devils quarterback Riley Leonard (13) runs with the football ahead of Miami Hurricanes linebacker Keontra Smith (4) during the third quarter at Hard Rock Stadium.

4. Cade Klubnik, Clemson

— This is based on potential alone, as his upside is great, but he didn’t wow in his few games last year.
