The quarterback landscape around college football changes every spring, and this year is no different.
Despite a relatively small number of high-level NFL prospects, there will be many new faces -- and some familiar ones with different teams -- headlining the QB position in the 2025 season. Of the 12 teams in the initial expanded College Football Playoff, only six return the same primary starting quarterback this fall.
Non-CFP teams such as Miami, Alabama and Colorado are also replacing quarterbacks. Miami loses arguably the most pro-ready QB in Cam Ward but added another in Carson Beck who was pegged to be the best 2025 draft prospect a year ago.
