With Week 1 of college football season in the books, the landscape of Power Four quarterbacks has come fully into focus. While some programs are still testing out two players at the position, every program had to pick one to roll with first as the 2024 campaign got underway.
The class of starting QBs for Week 1 spanned from the high school recruiting class of 2018 all the way to the Class of 2024 with Nebraska starting quarterback Dylan Raiola, who was the only true freshman to earn a Week 1 start at quarterback for a Power Four team. Of the 68 starters, a whopping 43 have transferred at some point in their careers.
That includes all three of the Class of 2018 players who are still around starting for their programs. Louisville’s Tyler Shough is on his third school, as is Oklahoma State’s Alan Bowman. Fellow Class of 2018 QB Cam Rising of Utah is just on his second school after beginning his career at Texas as a true freshman in the 2018 season.
The eradication of transfer restrictions — paired with relaxed redshirt rules and the extra season of eligibility provided amid the COVID-19 pandemic — have created a crop of college football college football quarterbacks that now spans a generational divide. Here’s a look at the data that helps unpack this year’s crop of power conference quarterbacks, or at least the players who took the opening snaps of Week 1.
