6/11/26: In 2025, Manning completed 61 percent of his passes for 3,163 yards with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had 10 rushing touchdowns. After a slow start, Manning finished the season strong and showed significant improvement over the course of the season. Manning has a great skill set with size, arm strength, and running ability. Obviously, his family heritage and pedigree have 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.

6/11/26: Moore was a dynamic point-producer for the Ducks in 2025, making plays with his arm and legs. In 2025, Moore completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Moore is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend. In 2023 with UCLA, Moore completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,610 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore has a good arm and can throw some beautiful passes deep down the field. Moore has a lot of talent and upside, but against Indiana, Moore struggled. He showed that he needs to improve his processing speed and was holding the ball too long, leading to taking unnecessary sacks.

6/11/26: Carr developed nicely in his first season as a starter, and by the end of the year, he was showing NFL starting ability. Carr completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,741 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was accurate, managed the game well, has developed field vision, and is a dangerous pocket passer with functional mobility. Carr is also known to have great leadership, character, and loves football.

6/11/26: Mestemeaker has a serious skill set with arm talent, size, and mobility. He flashed special ability with North Texas in 2025, completing 69 percent of his passes for 4,379 yards with 34 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also had five rushing scores. Mestemaker has a powerful arm and running ability, but he is very raw and needs development for the NFL. It will be fascinating to see how Mestemaker develops at Oklahoma State, and he could emerge as a high first-round prospect for the 2027 or 2028 NFL Draft.

6/11/26: Sellers completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 touchdowns passing, eight interceptions, five rushing, and some yardage on the ground. It sounds like Sellers may return to South Carolina in 2026. He should look to improve his accuracy and fundamentals before going to the NFL.

Sellers has a big-time skill set and could be a special quarterback. 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. However, Sellers has inconsistent accuracy and needs a lot more polish to be an effective pocket passer in the NFL.

6/11/26: Mateer completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and eight rushing touchdowns. After having hand surgery, Mateer was expected to miss a month but was only out for 17 days. After rushing back, Mateer had a horrible game against Texas, throwing three bad interceptions and taking some bad snaps.

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.

6/11/26: Mensah played well in his season with Duke. He completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 34 touchdowns, six interceptions, and one touchdown rushing. After the season, he transferred to Miami to replace Carson Beck. He has a quality skill set with some arm talent and mobility. In 2024, Mensah had a good season as Tulane’s starting quarterback, which led to him getting big-money offers in the transfer portal. Mensah has good accuracy and feel as a passer. He does not have elite athleticism or size, but Mensah is a dangerous passer and a point producer.

6/11/26: In 2025, Iamaleava completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,928 yards with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had four scores on the ground.

In 2024 with Tennessee, Iamaleava completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. Iamaleava has a ton of talent with a strong arm, passing ability, and is a fast, athletic, and tough runner. He could be a riser for his draft class.

6/11/26: Sayin took over as the starting quarterback for Ohio State and had a great supporting cast with some elite receivers like Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate to help him hit the ground running as a starter. He completed 77 percent of his passes for 3,610 yards with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Sayin looks on the smaller side, but he showed quality accuracy, ball security, field vision, and decision-making in his debut season.

6/11/26: Williams played well for the Huskies in 2025, completing 70 percent of his passes for 3,065 yards with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also ran for six scores. Williams is undersized, but is a gritty competitor.

In 2025, Chambliss completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,937 yards with 22 touchdowns and three interceptions. The 6-foot, 200-pound Chambliss is a similar style quarterback to Kyler Murray and a young Russell Wilson. While he is short and undersized, Chambliss has a quality arm with excellent mobility. Team sources said that if he had been forced into the 2026 NFL Draft, they felt he could have been a worthy day-two pick for a team in need of quarterback competition. Chambliss successfully sued to get another year of eligibility from the NCAA to play at Ole Miss in 2026. But teams were prepared and did reports on Chambliss. In speaking to sources from multiple teams, they felt Chambliss could have gone as high as the second round and as low as the fourth round.

Maiava (6-4, 230) has a good skill set, and if he builds on his 2025 season, he could be a first-round prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft.

6/11/26: Sorsby has the talent to be rated higher, but a gambling addiction that caused him to seek rehab is going to be a big burden on his grade with NFL teams. Sorsby was suspended, but he won in court to get eligibility back to play for Texas Tech.
