SEC quarterback play was not strong last year. Only two SEC quarterbacks were returning starters coming into last season. Those two were Chad Kelly and Joshua Dobbs, and they were two of the best the SEC had to offer.
One of the SEC’s other top QB’s was Texas A&M’s Trevor Knight, who was a graduate transfer from Oklahoma last season. But the SEC will be without all three of those players this season.
Dobbs and Kelly were no. 1 and 2 in the SEC in QB Rating last season, while Knight was no.
