Big 12 QB rankings for 2024: Shedeur Sanders, Noah Fifita, Cam Rising arrive from Pac-12 | Sporting News
The top three in our rankings are from the Pac-12's 'Corner Four' schools.

KJ listed a potential dark house for the Heisman trophy.
"Kansas' Jalon Daniels and Kansas State's Avery Johnson are potential Heisman Trophy sleepers. Arkansas transfer KJ Jefferson landed at UCF and is yet another intriguing option. "
This is the best part....
14. BYU
Starter: Senior Gerry Bohanon (19 career starts, 12 starts at Baylor, 7 starts at UCF)Backup: Junior Jake Retzlaff
Situation: Kedon Slovis started eight games for the Cougars last season, and Retzlaff had 648 yards, three TDs and three interceptions in four games. Retzlaff likely will slide into a backup role behind Bohanon, who led Baylor to a 12-2 record and Sugar Bowl victory in 2021. Bohanon spent the last two seasons at UCF, and he has not played in game action since suffering a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder in 2022. Bohanon did have 2,200 passing yards, 323 rushing yards and 27 total TDs at Baylor in 2021. He will get one more chance with the Cougars. Treyson Bourguet is the third option.
Also noteworthy...
13. Boston College
Starter: Thomas Castellanos (12 career starts at Boston College)Backup: Junior Grayson James
Situation heading into the fall: Castellanos was outstanding in his first year as BC’s starter. He won the job from Emmett Morehead in Week 2 and never looked back, accounting for 28 touchdowns (15 passing, 13 rushing), which was good for third in the ACC behind King and Drake May. He is an elusive runner who was third in the ACC in rushing with 1,113 yards. It will be interesting to see what he can do in Bill O’Brien’s offense, which historically has been more pro-style. Castellanos will need to up his 57 percent completion percentage and cut down his 14 interceptions.
Sporting News has not ranked Group of Five QBs, but my guess is Mikey Keene will be in the Top 15.
Fresno State QB Mikey Keene Focused On Consistency, Turnovers With 2024 Prep
While 2023 was largely successful for transfer quarterback Mikey Keene and the Fresno State Bulldogs, the former UCF Knight wants things to keep getting better.

But Gus cannot evaluate, recruit, and develop quarterbacks.
