Just In: Ole miss prodigy” Jaxson Dart already running the public show” as college football announced top 25 dangerous Quarterbacks after just week 10 displays” The miss prodigy might become the best in history of the team” here is the full list from 1-25…
During Week 10 of the 2024 college football season, a number of quarterbacks performed well in well-known games. Indiana’s Kurtis Rourke amassed 263 yards and four touchdowns in a victory over Michigan State, Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart tossed for 515 yards and six scores against Arkansas, and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel threw for 294 yards and a touchdown in a 38-17 victory over Michigan.
Athlon Sports will rank the top 25 college football quarterbacks every week. Additionally, the top 25 signal-callers vary in a number of ways following Week 10. Cam Ward of Miami is still ranked first, followed by Dillon Gabriel of Oregon at number two, Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss at number three, and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado at number four.
Preseason projections and performance during the first 10 weeks of the season are factored into our rankings. This ranking also takes into consideration the caliber or complexity of the competition (or particularly strong defenses).
Think of this as a power poll for the entire season that is updated weekly with new information and performances to assess. Although it’s not the only metric utilized, a quarterback can advance up this list with a solid one-week performance.
