College Football Playoff QB1s have (almost entirely) stayed put

Russell Wilson was an All-ACC quarterback at N.C. State. He transferred to Wisconsin and led the Badgers to the Rose Bowl. Stetson Bennett is a Heisman Trophy finalist at Georgia. Nearly half of all starters across the FBS ranks this season were transfers. The playoff might be the nicest thing about the playoff this year. It's nice that the quarterbacks involved have few stamps in their college football passports. They are all very talented. There are many marquee names. USC’s Caleb Williams is potentially the Heisman winner.

Slovis and JT Daniels are in the transfer portal again. Slovis replaced J T Daniels at USC and then left for Georgia. Daniels played the 2022 campaign at West Virginia. Cade McNamara moved to Iowa after he was offered the Michigan job.

Spencer Sanders, a four-year starter, entered the portal and won't face Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl. Drew Pyne entered with three years of eligibility left.

There is a steady build of QB movement since Russell Wilson's departure. The recent Heisman winners are: Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa. The current college football quarterback1s are Tyler Buchner, Devin Leary, DJ Uiagalelei, Graham Mertz, Brennan Armstrong, Jeff Sims, Hudson Card. and Joe. Burrows. There is no clear-cut answer for the next college quarterback. It's a lot of possibilities. For example, there are a number of players who could be available.
