Summary

With the 2025 college football season on the horizon, a number of top programs are facing uncertainty at the quarterback position. The two teams that competed for the national championship in 2024, Ohio State and Notre Dame, both need to replace their starting quarterbacks from last season.
The Buckeyes will hold a competition between redshirt sophomore Lincoln Kienholz and former five-star recruit Julian Sayin, who transferred from Alabama. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's quarterback battle is between CJ Carr and Kenny Minchey, as Steve Angeli, who many expected to start, has transferred to Syracuse.
Elsewhere, Alabama is looking to replace Jalen Milroe, with Ty Simpson, Austin Mack, and Keelon Russell vying for the job. Michigan also needs to improve its passing game, with Bryce Underwood and Mikey Keene competing for the starting role. Colorado, Tennessee, and BYU are also searching for new signal-callers, with highly-touted recruits and transfers involved in those competitions.
These quarterback battles will be closely watched as programs aim to find the right leader to guide them to success in the 2025 season.
