The biggest news in college football right now is the injury to Texas starting quarterback Quinn Ewers and then the emergence and dynamic play of All-Everything wunderkind Arch Manning. That storyline drives 247Sports Week 3 Quarterback Power Rankings. Beyond the excellent and highlight-worthy play of Manning, it also forces you to think about what Texas does when Ewers is ready to come back. We know you are thinking about it.
With Ewers out, we have a new No. 1 in the rankings. There is continued solid play from the names you already know, but Week 3 introduced some lesser-known quarterback names in college football who are making waves and helping their teams win. Eli Holstein at Pittsburgh, Oklahoma State’s Alan Bowman, and Texas Tech’s Behren Morton, among many others, are all catching our eyes.
And then there are the brand new signal-callers. Week 3 featured a batch of quarterbacks like Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed, Auburn’s Hank Brown, Illinois’ Luke Altmyer, Maryland’s Billy Edwards, and Indiana’s Kurtis Rourke who are leading their teams to wins and are certainly worth talking about now.
Below are the quarterback storylines we are following, the names to know around the country, and our top 20 QB Power Rankings.
