Quarterback

Group with the highest-ranked QB: USC (Malachi Nelson, No. 1 general). Nelson is such a naturally fluid thrower of the football. He can alter arm angles and make all the tosses. At 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, he has incredible physical upside to grow and more powerful, which will only enhance his innate talents.With the ruling Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams back in 2023, we expect Nelson to contend to be the backup, eventually play in four games and redshirt, which is the perfect scenario for any quarterback despite how gifted he is.– Luginbill Group with the most outstanding QB haul: Alabama. The Crimson Tide didn’t utilize the transfer portal for a quarterback to replace Bryce Young, so the training personnel made certain they added two high school prospects in the 2023 class. Alabama is one of a few teams to include 2 quarterbacks and the only group with 2 ESPN 300 devotes.
