Overall Top 15 Rankings
1. Alabama
The Crimson Tide tops my list after they landed the #1 QB in 2020 Bryce Young. Bryce is a Dual Threat QB who reminds me of former Oklahoma Sooners and current Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray. Young has a great chance to start as a True Freshman for the Crimson Tide.
2. Clemson
The Tigers come in at #2 on my list after they landed 5⭐ DJ Uiagalelei from California. The Tigers have started to creep into California for top players, and Uiagalelei has one of the strongest arms in the 2020 class. Uiagalelei will most likely redshirt this season and takeover in 2021 as Clemson’s starting QB.
3. Texas
I have Texas at #3 on my list, as they landed two elite Dual Threat QBs in Hudson Card and Ja’Quinden Jackson. This will be an interesting QB Battle to watch to see who eventually replaces Sam Ehlinger.
4. Tennessee
At #4 I have Tennessee, as they landed Harrison Bailey. I went back and watched tape on Bailey again and was very impressed. Bailey could be the elite QB the Vols have been missing for years.
5. Ohio State
Ohio State comes in at #5 for me after landing California QB CJ Stroud. Stroud has a good arm and good touch on deep passes. He needs to pack on some weight in college and fill out to reach his full potential.
6. South Carolina
For the second straight season the South Carolina Gamecocks land an elite QB. This year they landed Dual Threat Luke Doty from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Doty was once the 320th best recruit in the 2020 class. However, he finished at #85 and will have time to develop his game even more behind Ryan Hilinski for a few years.
7. Cincinnati
At #7 I have the Cincinnati Bearcats. The Bearcats had a great 2020 recruiting class, the best in the G5. At QB they landed 4⭐ Evan Prater who is the highest ranked G5 signee since Houston DT Ed Oliver. Prater has a chance to start as a True Freshman.
8. Texas A&M
Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M landed a potential game changer with Dual Threat Haynes King who comes in at #8 on my list. He’s a big time in-state kid. King will immediately push for playing time.
9. Washington
Coming in at #9 on my list is the Washington Huskies. The Huskies landed Pro Style QB Ethan Garbers from California. Garbers could be the next Jake Browning for the Huskies.
10. Oregon
Coming in at #10 is Oregon. The Ducks landed 6’6″ Pro Style QB Jay Butterfield. He has a big arm and his dad, Mark, played QB at Stanford.
11. Florida State
Coming in at #11 is Florida State. The Seminoles landed Chubba Purdy a 4⭐ Dual Threat from Arizona. The Noles have quantity and quality at QB in this class as they also landed 3⭐ Tate Rodemaker, a former USF pledge.
12. Arkansas
At #12 is Arkansas. The Razorbacks landed a QB they desperately needed in 4⭐ Dual Threat Malik Hornsby. Hornsby is the type of player who could help a program like Arkansas get out of the basement of the SEC West.
13. Oklahoma State
At #13 I have Oklahoma State. The Cowboys landed massive 6’7″ 240-pound Pro Style QB Shane Illingworth. Illingworth will be a big time gunslinger for the Cowboys, who hope he’s the next Mason Rudolph.
14. Florida
Coming in at #14 I have the Florida Gators. The Gators landed 4⭐ Dual Threat QB Anthony Richardson. Dan Mullen once again will have an Emory jones type of talent to develop.
15. Georgia Tech
At #15 I have the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They landed Dual Threat Jeff Sims. Sims is the ideal QB for head coach Geoff Collins. He will push for immediate playing time.
Top 10 G5 Rankings
1. Cincinnati
Cincinnati tops the list with 4⭐ Evan Prater.
2. East Carolina
Coming in at #2 I have the East Carolina Pirates. ECU landed Mason Garcia, a fringe 4⭐ recruit. Garcia has a big arm and is already 220 pounds of muscle. This kid has a ton of potential.
3. Memphis
At #3 I have Memphis after they landed Dual Threat Keilon Brown from Louisiana.
4. USF
Coming in at #4 is USF. The Bulls landed two QBs in 2020 with Pro Style QB Katravis Marsh and Dual Threat Jordan Smith. This will be an interesting QB battle to watch over the next few years.
5. Northern Illinois
At #5 I have NIU, after the Huskies landed Dual Threat QB Dustin Fletcher from Flint, Michigan. Fletcher is a quick, agile QB who could be the next Nathan Rourke of the MAC.
6. Toledo
Coming in at #6 I have Toledo. The Rockets had the best recruiting class in the MAC and Gavin Hall was a big reason why. Hall is a Pro Style QB who has good accuracy and great pocket awareness.
7. Louisiana Tech
At #7 we have Louisiana Tech who landed two quality QBs in Caleb Holstein and JD Head.
8. Tulane
Tulane lands at #8 after landing Michael Pratt and Justin Ibieta.
9. Florida International
FIU comes in at #9 after they hauled in Haden Carlson.
10. Bowling Green
Topping off the Top 10 is Bowling Green who hauled in Pro Style QB Tucker Melton
Top 5 FCS Rankings
1. Princeton
The Tigers are #1 after they landed 3⭐ QB Wilson Long from Austin, Texas. Long had a P5 offer from Texas Tech and multiple G5 offers. Long is a Pro Style QB, but also runs a 4.75 40.
2. North Dakota State
At #2 is defending National Champions North Dakota State. The Bison landed Dual Threat QB Cam Miller who was overlooked by many with just 3 offers. I see a lot of upside in Miller after he gets pivotal coaching and develops.
3. Youngstown State
At #3 is Youngstown State. YSU landed Dual Threat QB Demeatric Crenshaw who had offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Cincinnati, Boston College, and Indiana.
4. Rhode Island
Coming in at #4 is Rhode Island who landed two viable QBs. The Rams hauled in 3⭐ Pro Style QB Jared Heywood and 3⭐ Pro Style QB Brady Martin. Both players will make a push to start as True Freshmen.
5. Dartmouth
Coming in at #5 is Dartmouth. The Big Green landed 3⭐ QB Devon Lingle who had offers from Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Cincinnati, ECU, USF, and Toledo.
