3.) Brad Kaaya, Junior, Miami FL, 6-foot-4, 221 pounds, 21 years old

Brad Kaaya, is entering his third season being the full-time starting quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes. Kaaya has thrown for over 3,000 yards in each of the past two seasons and is considered to be a top prospect heading into the 2017 Draft.

4.) Chad Kelly, Senior, Ole Miss, 6-foot-2, 224 pounds, 22 years old

Kelly is the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. Kelly originally attended Clemson University but was dismissed for conduct detrimental to the team. He went to East Mississippi Community College before finding an opening at Ole Miss. Kelly won the starting quarterback job in 2015 and is now entering his second season as the starter for the Rebels. Last season, he threw for 4,042 yards and 31 touchdowns.

NFL Network draft analyst Lance Zierlein compared Kelly to a “young Tony Romo.” Zierlein continued by saying, “Kelly’s senior season will go a long way toward determining his draft stock, but he has the skills to compete for a starting job in the NFL.

Other notable collegiate quarterbacks we will follow as the season goes on are,

  • Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
  • C.J. Beathard, Iowa
  • Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
  • J.T. Barrett, Ohio State
