Battle Of The 2024 College Football Quarterbacks
Hey Football Fanatics,
Do you smell that? That’s the scent of the 2024 college football season creeping up on us! And folks, let me tell you, if you thought last season was a rollercoaster, you ain't seen nothing yet. We're diving headfirst into some juicy quarterback battles that’ll have you second-guessing your fantasy picks and maybe even your sanity. Buckle up, here we go!
First stop: Pitt. You know things aren’t going swimmingly when your QB options are Eli Holstein, the hotshot recruit, and Nate Jarnell, the experienced (but not exactly thrilling) veteran. Holstein's high school stats are sexier than a new Tesla, but Jarnell's grit and experience might just give him the edge. Pitt fans, we might need to send some ‘good luck’ vibes their way. Feeling confident about either of them? Yeah, me neither.
Then there’s Coastal Carolina, where Tad Hudson, Noah Kim, and Ethan Vasco are squaring off. Hudson bailed, Kim’s Michigan State stint was just okay, but Vasco—man, the guy’s got “it.” He’s like that straight-A student who also happens to be the star quarterback. All eyes on Vasco for now.
Vanderbilt's drama checks all the boxes: Diego Pavia, the New Mexico State sensation, versus Nate Johnson, who had a rocky road at Utah. Pavia screams determination, and I'm not a betting person, but if I were, I'd say he’s going to own that field.
Washington State’s new coach, Jake Dickert, must feel like a toddler in a candy store. He's got John Mattier and Zai Eous, an experienced player with stats that could make anyone jealous. Money’s on Eous here—experience can’t be bought, my friends.
Wake Forest’s QB dilemma sees Michael Karner trying to outshine Hank Bachmeier. Bachmeier’s got more mileage on him, with four-star recruit status and all. Karner’s like that long-lost cousin who shows up only at family reunions—lots of potential but mostly MIA.
And New Mexico State not only needs a new QB but also a new head coach—talk about a project! Duce Hogan, with his Kentucky backup experience, seems poised to step up. Can the 'Hogan’ator get it done? We think so.
Ah, Stanford. Ashton Daniels is the starter-for-now, but keep an eye on Elijah Brown. The kid’s got star written all over him. Daniels better do more than just warm that seat.
Over at UTEP, it’s Cade McConnell's starting spot to lose, especially with transfer Skyler Locher keeping him on his toes. Place your bets, folks—this one could go either way.
North Carolina’s got its hands full, juggling Jacobe Criswell, Connor Harrell, and Max Johnson. Imagine three cats in a sack, only one’s getting out. And that one might just be Johnson, unless Harrell’s athleticism steals the show.
Boise State’s QB scene is like an episode of “Survivor.” Tanner Green left, and now it's Maddox Madson against the five-star newcomer Malachi Nelson. Maddox might have a head start; Nelson’s still finding his footing.
Now, Oregon State’s battle is a three-way circus: Ben Golbranson, Jabari Johnson, and Javanni McCoy. Golbranson’s tenure might give him the edge, but McCoy’s no slouch either.
MJ Morris versus Billy Edwards Jr. at Maryland is akin to Rocky Balboa facing Apollo Creed. Morris’ arm strength could prove decisive, but Edwards' experience means he’s not out of the fight yet.
In Virginia, it looks like Anthony Colandrea’s time to shine after a promising freshman year. Tony Muskettle, your move—got to bring more than last season’s mixed results.
Last, but certainly not least, is Iowa. Can Kade McNamara step up or will Brendan Sullivan swoop in like a superhero from Northwestern? Here’s hoping McNamara’s kryptonite days are behind him.
So, ready to dive deeper into the madness that is college football’s QB battles? Or are you just here for the popcorn and drama? Whichever it is, stick with us, and let's enjoy the ride.
