The article:
CJ Carr, Notre Dame
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 215 pounds
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Where he excels: Carr won a training camp battle as a redshirt freshman last season and ran with it, finishing with 2,741 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has an easy throwing motion that generates beautiful spirals. When he’s on schedule, his eyes match his feet and he plays the game with a quiet lower half. Though he’s an average athlete, Carr can buy time with his quickness and isn’t afraid to gain yards on the ground when they’re available. Multiple scouts indicate Carr is the most popular choice as the signal-caller who could shoot high in Round 1. Notre Dame lost a lot of top skill players last season, so if Carr can shoulder the load and play well, his stock will rise.
Where he needs work: The next step in Carr’s development is limiting chaotic and forced plays. He tries so hard to make every play overwhelmingly positive that he will run in circles in hopes of finding things that simply aren’t there. That causes situations in which he’s too aggressive in attacking throwing windows that have already slammed shut. Learning to relegate to his checkdown or simply throw the ball out of bounds can prevent him from taking unnecessary sacks and straddling the line into turnover-worthy plays.
Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss
Height: 6 feet | Weight: 205 pounds
Class: Sixth-year senior
Where he excels: Chambliss was a major find in the transfer portal out of Division II Ferris State, assuming the starting role in Game 3 and leading Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff semifinals. He threw for 3,937 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 527 rushing yards and eight more scores. Chambliss is dynamic as a runner and a passer, as his sudden circular throwing motion helps him get the ball out quickly and was a big reason he was sacked on only 2.9% of his dropbacks (seventh best in the FBS). His jittery, controlled running style makes him a challenge in the rushing game, too. After being granted a sixth year of eligibility, how he fares in Ole Miss’ new-look offense will determine how much Chambliss rises in the rankings.
Where he needs work: Chambliss’ elusiveness can sometimes be his biggest downfall, as he doesn’t always understand when plays are over. He needs to learn when to take the easier option to keep drives alive. Evaluators also want to see if he can replicate his success from his first season as a starter. Now that he’s the unquestioned starter, Chambliss will have an opportunity to prove that his 2025 play wasn’t just a one-year blip.
Julian Sayin, Ohio State
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 208 pounds
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Where he excels: Sayin excelled in his first season as a starter, finishing with 3,610 passing yards and 32 touchdowns to eight interceptions. He’s a point guard-like distributor whose game centers on accuracy. His 77% completion percentage led all passers last season. His placement makes the after-catch process seamless for receivers, as he puts the ball on the proper parts of their frames. Sayin repeatedly takes what defenses give him underneath while also being aware of when to loft throws downfield. His alertness with protections at the line is also obvious, as he gets a lot of freedom to alter playcalls.
Where he needs work: Sayin doesn’t have ideal size, and his lack of arm strength to drive the ball into tight areas is apparent, resulting in few throws in the middle of the field. The Buckeyes’ offense has a lot of predetermined deep throws to the outside and quick-game concepts attacking the off coverage by defenders. Pre- to post-snap coverage rotation was a constant battle for Sayin last season, especially in losses to Indiana and Miami. Scouts also want to see Sayin use his mobility more. His youth might lead him to wait until 2028 to enter the draft.
OTHERS TO WATCH:
DJ Lagway, Baylor
Lagway was a highly touted recruit in 2024 but didn’t live up to the hype at Florida before transferring, finishing last season with 2,264 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. At 6-3, 247 pounds, Lagway has physical tools and stature few passers can match. He also has a live arm that has scouts intrigued about his potential. Lagway is still highly inconsistent and needs to prove that he can put together long stretches of positive play. Durability has also been an issue; he has suffered multiple soft-tissue injuries and had issues with his throwing shoulder.
Sam Leavitt, LSU
Leavitt made this list last year after a breakout 2024 season but battled injuries in 2025. He finished last season with 1,628 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions before undergoing foot surgery last October. Leavitt transferred from Arizona State and is viewed as an integral member of Lane Kiffin’s first LSU class, as his skills fit well in the coach’s attacking offense. Leavitt needs to be more in control, as he can become skittish and unnecessarily seek to escape clean pockets when progressing off his initial read.
Drake Lindsey, Minnesota
At 6-5, 230 pounds, Lindsey is a big, strong-armed pocket passer who can rocket the ball to any part of the field. He finished his first season as a starter with 2,382 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has the downfield arm strength that makes you sit up in your chair. Lindsey isn’t shy with making risky throws and trusting his targets to haul them in. They aren’t showcased much in the Golden Gophers’ scheme, as his 6.9 air yards per pass attempt ranked 119th in the FBS.
John Mateer, Oklahoma
Mateer’s first season with the Sooners after three years at Washington State resulted in 2,885 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions along with 431 yards and eight more scores rushing. He started hot, but he had an early hand injury and then put too many erratic moments on tape down the stretch. Possessing a shortstop-like throwing motion, Mateer can make plenty of big-time passes. However, his competitive mindset prompts him to needlessly throw from funky arm angles, sometimes resulting in frustrating, inaccurate passes.
