Arch Manning, QB, Texas Height: 6-4. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
Projected Round (2028): 1.
7/13/26: 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.
Dante Moore, QB, Oregon Height: 6-2. Weight: 215.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Projected Round (2028): 1-2.
7/13/26: 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.
C.J. Carr*, QB, Notre Dame Height: 6-3. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2028): 1-2.
7/13/26: 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.
Drew Mestemaker*, QB, Oklahoma State Height: 6-4. Weight: 211.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2028): 1-2.
7/13/26: 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.
LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina Height: 6-3. Weight: 242.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2028): 1-3.
7/13/26: 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.
