Which college football programs have the top quarterbacks for 2018? Several teams rely on familiar faces, while others start the season with more than one capable signal-caller after injuries forced a lineup change in 2017. Here are the top 15.
1. Penn State Nittany Lions
Record-setting senior Trace McSorley is back for his third season as the starter, with a bigger role expected now that running back Saquon Barkley is gone. The only quarterback in Penn State history with multiple 3,000-yard passing seasons, McSorley accounted for 39 touchdowns in 2017, including 11 rushing. The Nittany Lions retained dual-threat Tommy Stevens, who will be one of the country's top backups.
