  1. Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame
  2. Daxton Hill, Michigan
  3. Jaquan Brisker, Penn State
  4. Lewis Cine, Georgia
  5. Jalen Pitre, Baylor

  3. Quay Walker, Georgia
  4. Chad Muma, Wyoming

By Barb Layton

My final 5 quarterback rankings have changed. I had Desmond Ridder 6 in my last rankings. He moved up, so let’s see how it falls now. I feel that it could go any way in the draft it is so close for these 5 quarterbacks as to who will be the first one off the board.

  1. Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh
  2. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati
  3. Malik Willis, Liberty
  4. Sam Howell, North Carolina
