While programs fight for the last remaining five-star prospects and flip-watch remains in effect until the last fax is sent and commit is counted on signing day, quarterbacks should remain largely out of the fray between now and then. Though, that wasn’t the case for the entire 2017 recruiting cycle.
All told, at least 18 quarterbacks changed their commitments and will sign with or have already enrolled early at a Power 5 program. It’s a group that likely includes the future of college football, as four of the top seven dual-threat quarterbacks and three of the top eight pocket passers flipped their commitments.
