Very Early and Preliminary Quarterback Rankings
These rankings should be considered nowhere near final, but really more as a gauge to what players you should be watching for the 2012 College Football Season. I’d also consider these very early rankings as more of a projection than as a where a player stands now. I’ve favored “upside” in these preliminary rankings.
I’ll go 17 deep for now. *denotes underclassman
- Tyler Wilson, Arkansas
- Matt Barkley, USC
- Tyler Bray, Tennessee*
- Logan Thomas, VA Tech*
- Landry Jones, Oklahoma
- Geno Smith, WVU
- E.J. Manuel, Florida State
- Keith Price, Washington*
- Aaron Murray, Georgia*
- James Vandenberg, Iowa
- Casey Pachall, TCU*
- Aaron Murray, Georgia* (I don’t really expect him to declare after this season and his size pushes him down a bit)
- Mike Glennon, North Carolina State
- Sean Renfree, Duke
- Alex Carter, Western Michigan
- A.J. McCaron, Alabama*
- Tajh Boyd, Clemson*
Thoughts?
I think Barkley is ahead of Wilson right now, today, but I could easily see Barkley being passed by Wilson, or possibly even Bray or Thomas by draft day in 2013.
