Drew Lock is the only first-team all-conference quarterback from a Power-5 conference that is back this season to defend the title.
Lamar Jackson? Gone. As are J.T. Barrett, Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold.
Since 2007, Lock is the 35th quarterback from a Power-5 team to be a first-team all-conference selection (according to the coaches or the media) one season, then return the next year.
Who are the other 34, you may ask? Well, here they are. Separated by conference:
SEC
- Jalen Hurts, Alabama -- 2016
- Dak Prescott, Mississippi St.
