1. Oklahoma image John Mateer*, QB, Oklahoma
Height: 6-1. Weight: 224.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – Cam Ward, Miami
  • ’24 – Caleb Williams, USC
  • ’23 – Bryce Young, Alabama

9/9/25: Mateer has completed 72 percent of his passes for 662 yards with four touchdowns, two interceptions, and three rushing touchdowns. For the NFL, Mateer looks like a starter who could be a devastating passer. Mateer (6-1, 224) is an accurate passer with excellent ball placement overall. He has a few throws get away from him, but Mateer has impressive precision as a passer. Mateer is very mobile in the pocket and can hurt defenses on the ground. As a passer, Mateer is similar to Baker Mayfield, but Mateer is a better athlete and more dangerous with his feet. It would not surprise this analyst if Mateer ends up rising high for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Mateer played well for Washington State in 2024 and impressed in his first year as a starter. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,139 yards with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Mateer has some mobility and is a gritty competitor. Some team sources have compared Mateer to former Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mateer could be a high riser during the 2025 season.



2. South Carolina image LaNorris Sellers*, QB, South Carolina
Height: 6-3. Weight: 242.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
  • ’24 – Jayden Daniels, LSU
  • ’23 – C.J. Stroud, Ohio State

9/9/25: Sellers has completed 61 percent of his passes for 337 yards with two touchdowns passing, one rushing, and some yardage on the ground.

Sellers has a big-time skill set and could be a breakout star in 2025 after a very impressive finish to the 2024 season. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns. He showed a strong arm with dynamic running ability and true dual-threat talent for the NFL.

3. LSU image Garrett Nussmeier*, QB, LSU
Height: 6-2. Weight: 200.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss
  • ’24 – Drake Maye, North Carolina
  • ’23 – Anthony Richardson, Florida

9/9/25: Nussmeier has completed 68 percent of his passes for 469 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He did a good job of leading his team from a halftime deficit to a tough road win.

Nussmeier spent a few seasons as the backup to Jayden Daniels and turned himself into a legit prospect for the NFL in 2024. Nussmeier completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,403 yards with 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. There is no doubt that Nussmeier has the arm talent to be a pro starter, as he has a powerful arm that has no issue going vertically downfield. Nussmeier is getting good pro preparation from Brian Kelly, and Nussmeier looks like an early-round prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.

4. Texas image Arch Manning*, QB, Texas
Height: 6-5. Weight: 243.
Projected 40 Time: 4.56.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – Tyler Shough, Louisville
  • ’24 – J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
  • ’23 – Will Levis, Kentucky

9/9/25: Manning struggled with inaccuracy in the road loss to Ohio State. He completed 17-of-30 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown and an interception. In 2025, Manning has completed 60 percent of his passes for 465 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. He has a rushing touchdown.

Manning has a great skill set with size, arm strength, and running ability. Obviously, his family heritage and pedigree has led to him having advanced fundamentals and mechanics. Manning flashed his talent in relief work for Quinn Ewers in 2024. Manning completed 68 percent of his passes for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had two rushing touchdowns. Manning could take off as a junior, with Ewers off to the NFL.

5. Penn State image Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 243.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – Quinn Ewers, Texas
  • ’24 – Michael Penix Jr., Washington
  • ’23 – Hendon Hooker, Tennessee

9/9/25: Allar has completed 70 percent of his passes for 417 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions.

In 2024, Allar has completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,327 yards with 24 touchdowns passing, six rushing scores, and eight interceptions. Allar flashed ability, but he needs development with his footwork and field vision for the NFL. He was wise to return to college next season to improve before going to the NFL. Allar completed 60 percent of his passes in 2023 for 2,631 yards, 25 touchdowns and two interceptions. There is no doubt that Allar has a powerful arm and the potential to be a dangerous pocket passer.

<> 9/9/25: In 2025, Leavitt has completed 57 percent of his passes for 339 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions.

In 2024, Leavitt did a good job of managing the game and using the playmakers at his disposal. He completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. Leavitt is not big, but he was an efficient passer in his debut season as a starter.



7. Clemson image Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson
Height: 6-2. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.69.
Projected Round (2025): 2-3.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – Will Howard, Ohio State
  • ’24 – Spencer Rattler, South Carolina
  • ’23 – Malik Cunningham, Louisville

9/9/25: In 2025, Klubnik has completed 60 percent of his passes for 426 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

In 2024, Klubnik completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,639 yards with 36 touchdowns and six interceptions. He is a good college quarterback, but has some limitations for the NFL. His lack of arm strength, size, and not being an elite runner could cause some evaluators to project him to day two. They may not see a first-round skill set with Klubnik. Klubnik flashed some ability in 2023, completing 64 percent of his passes for 2,844 yards, 19 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Klubnik needs to improve his pocket passing in 2024.

Previous Seasons

7/1/24: In 2025, Beck has completed 76 percent of his passes for 472 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions.

In 2024, Beck completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,485 yards with 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with Georgia. Beck injured his elbow late in the season, knocking him out of the college football playoff games. Beck almost pulled off an amazing comeback against Alabama, but Beck’s three interceptions, one fumble, and inaccuracy led to Georgia losing to the Crimson Tide. Beck was unimpressive with three interception games against Texas and Florida. He had an interception and multiple fumbles in a loss to Ole Miss. Beck decided to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, but after seeing he was a potential mid-round pick, he changed his mind and transferred to Miami.

After a bit of a slow start to 2023, Beck heated up for Georgia, showing off a powerful arm and an ability to push the ball downfield. In 2023, Beck completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,941 yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He has upside with serious arm talent and could become a legit quarterback prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Previous Seasons
  • ’25 – D.J. Uiagalelei, Florida State

  • ’23 – Tyson Bagent, Shepherd

9/9/25: Van Dyke has yet to play this year.

In 2024 at Wisconsin, Van Dyke completed 63 percent of his passes for 422 yards with a touchdown. Van Dyke was carted off the field with a non-contact knee injury against Alabama and went out for the year. After the season, he transferred to SMU.

After the 2023 season, Van Dyke decided to enter the transfer portal and landed with Wisconsin. Van Dyke completed 66 percent of his passes for Miami in 2023 for 2,703 yards, 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He was superb in Miami’s win over Texas A&M in Week 2, but later had a stretch of 11 interceptions over five games, which led to him getting benched. An injury forced Van Dyke back on the field. He was wise to transfer to Wisconsin to try to produce a better season before moving on to the NFL.

Van Dyke broke out in 2021, completing 62.3 percent of his passes for 2,931 yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions. In 2022, his play was not as strong and he dealt with injuries. Van Dyke completed 63.2 percent of his passes in 2022 for 1,844 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Van Dyke has a quality arm with size and pocket ability, but he is not a dual-threat runner. Van Dyke is similar to former Gators quarterback Kyle Trask.

9/9/25: To start the 2024 season, Johnson completed 12-of-19 passes for 71 yards and an interception against Minnesota. In the second half, Johnson suffered a broken leg that ended his season.

In 2023 at Texas A&M, Johnson completed 62 percent of his passes for 1,452 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions. He had been a backup for the Aggies, but he played well in relief duty, leading them to wins over Auburn and Arkansas. After the 2023 season, Johnson transferred to North Carolina. Johnson started out his career at LSU before landing with Texas A&M. He dealt with injuries in 2022 and only saw 71 attempts on the season because of a broken right hand. In 2021, he completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 2,815 yards, 27 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Johnson has good size and a capable arm, but he needs to produce a big season with the Tar Heels. He is the son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brad Johnson.
