Final Top 50 Quarterback Rankings After 2024 College Football Season

Joel Reuter

Welcome to Bleacher Report's final college football quarterback rankings of 2024.

All season, these rankings have been updated each Tuesday morning, with the goal each week being to identify the 25 best QBs in the country based solely on their on-field production in 2024. That means past performance, future expectations, physical tools and NFL upside were all removed from the equation.

Now it's time to wrap things up with an expanded ranking of the 50 best QBs of the 2024 season, with each player's individual production, quality of opponent, consistency, peak performance and team success all taken into account.

For one final time in 2024, let the debate begin.

Nos. 50-46

50. Devon Dampier, New Mexico

Stats: 226-of-390, 2,768 yards, 12 TD, 12 INT; 1,166 rush yards, 19 TD

One of the most productive scrambling quarterbacks in the country, Dampier was one of only three players at the position to reach 1,000 yards on the ground. His 31 total touchdowns were tops in the Mountain West.

49. Owen McCown, UTSA

Stats: 271-of-437, 3,170 yards, 24 TD, 9 INT; 303 rush yards, 2 TD

McCown started his college career at Colorado where he played in four games as a true freshman, but he landed at UTSA after Deion Sanders took the head coaching job and gutted the roster. He was a productive first-year starter after sitting behind Frank Harris on the depth chart a year ago.

48. Tucker Gleason, Toledo

Stats: 207-of-335, 2,457 yards, 22 TD, 7 INT; 330 rush yards, 6 TD

In his fifth collegiate season and fourth year at Toledo, Gleason replaced Dequan Finn as Toledo's starter and led the team to a 7-5 record as one of the better MAC quarterbacks. He had four games with three passing touchdowns, and he also ranked second on the team with 330 rushing yards.

47. Gio Lopez, South Alabama

Stats: 206-of-312, 2,559 yards, 18 TD, 5 INT; 463 rush yards, 7 TD

After throwing for 192 yards and three touchdowns in the 68 Ventures Bowl en route to a 59-10 victory as a true freshman in 2023, Lopez exploded out of the gates this season by throwing for 432 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 1 loss to North Texas. His 7.7 total yards per play led the Sun Belt.

46. Marcel Reed, Texas A&M

Stats: 121-of-198, 1,572 yards, 12 TD, 4 INT; 497 rush yards, 6 TD

A 4-star recruit in the 2023 class, Reed made waves when he rushed for 62 yards and three touchdowns to help lead the Aggies to a win over LSU on Oct. 26. With Conner Weigman in the transfer portal, he has a chance to be a breakout star in the SEC next season as the unquestioned starter.

Nos. 45-41

Luke Altmyer Ed Mulholland/Getty Images

45. Hajj-Malik Williams, UNLV

Stats: 145-of-234, 1,845 yards, 17 TD, 5 INT; 824 rush yards, 9 TD

Williams took over as UNLV's starter after Matthew Sluka left the team three games into the season following a dispute over NIL money, and the Rebels went on to complete a 10-3 season. After five seasons at FCS Campbell, he helped keep one of the better mid-major teams in the country from crumbling amid early controversy.

44. Maalik Murphy, Duke

Stats: 254-of-421, 2,933 yards, 26 TD, 12 INT; -79 rush yards, 2 TD

A 4-star recruit in 2022 who began his college career at Texas, Murphy attempted just 71 passes in two years before replacing Riley Leonard at Duke in transfer-portal musical chairs. He had 17 touchdowns and five interceptions through his first eight games before a pair of three-interception games down the stretch, but he still finished among the ACC leaders in passing yards (2,933, seventh) and passing touchdowns (26, fourth).

43. Payton Thorne, Auburn

Stats: 199-of-317, 2,713 yards, 21 TD, 9 INT; 283 rush yards, 2 TD

A four-interception game in Week 2 led to Thorne spending Week 3 on the bench behind Hank Brown, but he returned to the starting role the following game and went on to put together a solid individual season for a disappointing Auburn team. The Michigan State transfer improved his numbers across the board from his first season with the Tigers in 2023.

42. Jake Retzlaff, BYU

Stats: 201-of-347, 2,796 yards, 20 TD, 10 INT; 388 rush yards, 6 TD

Retzlaff spent his first two college seasons at Riverside City College before transferring to BYU in 2023 and throwing for 648 yards and three touchdowns behind Kedon Slovis last year. He took over as the Cougars starter this year and led them to national relevance in a 10-2 season.

41. Luke Altmyer, Illinois

Stats: 198-of-325, 2,543 yards, 21 TD, 5 INT; 219 rush yards, 4 TD

Altmyer threw for 1,883 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first year as the Illinois starter after transferring from Ole Miss, but he was one of the most improved QBs in the nation this year. His 21 passing touchdowns were the most by a Fighting Illini quarterback since Nathan Scheelhaase in 2013.

Nos. 40-36

Darian Mensah G Fiume/Getty Images

40. Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt

Stats: 164-of-277, 2,133 yards, 17 TD, 4 INT; 716 rush yards, 6 TD

Pavia completed 16-of-20 pass attempts for 252 yards and two touchdowns in a huge win over Alabama on Oct. 5. The New Mexico State transfer had an inconsistent season overall, but he was impactful enough that the Commodores made their first appearance in the AP poll since 2013.

39. Blake Horvath, Navy

Stats: 69-of-118, 1,154 yards, 11 TD, 4 INT; 895 rush yards, 13 TD

Horvath led Navy to a 6-0 start while tallying 888 passing yards, 621 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns to emerge as a dark-horse Heisman Trophy contender midway through the season. However, the Midshipmen went just 1-3 in their next four games before Horvath suffered a back injury against Tulane in Week 14 that sidelined him the rest of the way.

38. Haynes King, Georgia Tech

Stats: 171-of-236, 1,910 yards, 11 TD, 1 INT; 578 rush yards, 11 TD

A nagging shoulder injury limited King throughout the 2024 season, but when he was able to take the field, he was a much better all-around quarterback than he was the previous year. He led the ACC with a 72.5 percent completion rate, and he threw just one interception after leading the conference with 16 interceptions in 2023.

37. Darian Mensah, Tulane

Stats: 189-of-287, 2,723 yards, 22 TD, 6 INT; 132 rush yards, 1 TD

A 2-star recruit who did not see the field as a true freshman in 2023, Mensah was a surprise winner of Tulane's starting quarterback job, beating out Kai Horton and Oregon transfer Ty Thompson during the preseason. He led the Green Wave on an eight-game winning streak that had them as high as No. 18 in the College Football Playoff rankings before back-to-back losses.

36. Maddux Madsen, Boise State

Stats: 224-of-361, 2,714 yards, 22 TD, 3 INT; 224 rush yards, 5 TD

With defenses focused on Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty in the running game, Madsen quietly put together a strong season through the air for a Boise State squad headed to the College Football Playoff. His 22 passing touchdowns were the most of any Mountain West quarterback in 2024.

Nos. 35-31

Rocco Becht Sam Hodde/Getty Images

35. Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee

Stats: 199-of-303, 2,512 yards, 19 TD, 5 INT; 311 rush yards, 1 TD

One of the most hyped first-year starters in the nation, Iamaleava settled into the role of game manager for a Volunteers offense that leaned heavily on running back Dylan Sampson (256 carries, 1,485 rushing yards, 22 TD). He ended the regular season on a high note with four-touchdown performances against Texas El-Paso and Vanderbilt.

34. Parker Navarro, Ohio

Stats: 176-of-267, 2,169 yards, 12 TD, 10 INT; 935 rush yards, 15 TD

Tasked with filling the big shoes left when Kurtis Rourke transferred to Indiana, Navarro led the Bobcats to a 10-3 season and a MAC championship. He had 10 rushing touchdowns over the team's final four games, and he completed 20-of-27 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns with two more scores on the ground in the MAC title game.

33. Rocco Becht, Iowa State

Stats: 249-of-420, 3,235 yards, 22 TD, 9 INT; 295 rush yards, 7 TD

Becht was a revelation as a redshirt freshman in 2023 when he threw for 3,120 yards and 23 touchdowns, and he reached the 3,000-yard mark again this season while leading a Cyclones team that finished 10-3 and reached the Big 12 title game. He joins Brock Purdy as the only Iowa State quarterbacks with multiple 3,000-yard seasons.

32. Avery Johnson, Kansas State

Stats: 202-of-342, 2,517 yards, 22 TD, 9 INT; 548 rush yards, 6 TD

After tallying 479 passing yards, 296 rushing yards and 12 total touchdowns as a change-of-pace option alongside Will Howard in 2023, Johnson took over as K-State's starting QB in 2024. He completed just 59.5 percent of his throws with one touchdown and four interceptions in back-to-back losses to Houston and Arizona State or he would rank higher.

31. Braylon Braxton, Marshall

Stats: 124-of-206, 1,624 yards, 19 TD, 2 INT; 610 rush yards, 4 TD

Braxton started the season behind Stone Earle on the Marshall depth chart, but he ended up leading the team to seven straight wins once he was named the starter en route to Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year honors after he transferred from Tulsa. He is now in the transfer portal again following his breakout performance.

Nos. 30-26

Tyler Shough Andy Lyons/Getty Images

30. Ben Wooldridge, Louisiana

Stats: 185-of-271, 2,392 yards, 17 TD, 5 INT; 192 rush yards, 5 TD

Despite missing the final two games of the regular season and the Sun Belt championship after suffering a shoulder injury, Wooldridge still took one of the conference's Offensive Player of the Year honors. He completed 68.3 percent of his throws and led the conference with a 159.4 passer rating while going 8-2 in the 10 games he started.

29. Caden Veltkamp, Western Kentucky

Stats: 233-of-350, 2,806 yards, 23 TD, 10 INT; 162 rush yards, 7 TD

After attempting just 58 passes during his first two seasons at Western Kentucky while sitting behind accomplished passer Austin Reed on the depth chart, Veltkamp put together a strong debut season as the Hilltoppers starter. He had four games in which he threw multiple interceptions, but he also led Conference USA with 23 touchdown passes.

28. Jordan McCloud, Texas State

Stats: 247-of-355, 2,920 yards, 29 TD, 12 INT; 276 rush yards, 7 TD

McCloud was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country during the 2023 season at James Madison, throwing for 3,657 yards and 35 touchdowns while adding eight more scores on the ground. He did not find that same level of success after transferring to Texas State, but he was the Sun Belt leader in passing touchdowns (29) and completion percentage (69.6%) for the second year in a row.

27. Seth Henigan, Memphis

Stats: 291-of-451, 3,208 yards, 23 TD, 6 INT; 129 rush yards, 1 TD

With four consecutive 3,000-yard passing seasons under center at Memphis, Henigan is one of the most prolific quarterbacks in college football history. His 13,972 career passing yards trail only Dillon Gabriel and Will Rogers among active quarterbacks and check in 15th on the all-time list.

26. Tyler Shough, Louisville

Stats: 244-of-389, 3,195 yards, 23 TD, 6 INT; 19 rush yards, 1 TD

Shough spent three seasons at Oregon and three seasons at Texas Tech before putting together a career year at Louisville in 2024. He had 2,016 yards with 18 touchdowns and three interceptions through his first seven games, including a 342-yard, four-touchdown performance against Miami where he matched Cam Ward blow for blow in a 52-45 loss.

Nos. 25-21

Kevin Jennings Isaiah Vazquez/Getty Images

25. Kevin Jennings, SMU

Stats: 227-of-344, 3,050 yards, 22 TD, 8 INT; 379 rush yards, 5 TD

Preston Stone was SMU's starting quarterback for the first three games of the season, though he split time with Jennings in each of those games before Jennings was officially named the starter. It was a surprising move after Stone threw for 3,197 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2023, but it's hard to argue with the results from both Jennings and a Mustangs team that is headed to the College Football Playoff.

24. Carson Beck, Georgia

Stats: 290-of-448, 3,485 yards, 28 TD, 12 INT; 71 rush yards, 1 TD

One of the Heisman Trophy front-runners when the season began, Beck never quite reached elite-level production on his way to leading the SEC in touchdowns (28) and interceptions (12). He had 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions against Tennessee, UMass and Georgia Tech to close out the regular season, but he was injured on the final play of the first half in the SEC championship game and is expected to miss the Bulldogs' first playoff game.

23. Josh Hoover, TCU

Stats: 293-of-439, 3,697 yards, 23 TD, 10 INT; -15 rush yards, 4 TD

Hoover threw for 2,206 yards and 15 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2023 while sharing time with Chandler Morris, and he took a major step forward in his first season as the unquestioned starter. He improved his completion percentage (62.1% to 66.7%) and yards per attempt (7.4 to 8.4) while finishing second in the Big 12 in passing yards behind Shedeur Sanders.

22. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU

Stats: 313-of-491, 3,739 yards, 26 TD, 11 INT; -45 rush yards, 3 TD

A 4-star recruit and the No. 14 quarterback in the 2021 class, Nussmeier sat behind Max Johnson for one year and Jayden Daniels for two years before finally getting his chance to start this season. He led the SEC in completions (313) and attempts (491) while logging seven 300-yard performances, but the lack of a consistent running game put a lot of pressure on him to carry the offense.

21. Behren Morton, Texas Tech

Stats: 295-of-466, 3,335 yards, 27 TD, 8 INT; -22 rush yards, 1 TD

Morton led the Big 12 and ranked fourth in the nation with 466 pass attempts, reaching 200 yards passing in 11 of his 12 games. He lit up Oklahoma State for 401 yards and four touchdowns in Week 13, and followed that up with 359 yards and two touchdowns against West Virginia in the regular-season finale.

Nos. 20-16

Tyler Huff David Jensen/Getty Images

20. Alonza Barnett III, James Madison

Stats: 213-of-355, 2,598 yards, 26 TD, 4 INT; 442 rush yards, 7 TD

Barnett fell short of matching the gaudy numbers Jordan McCloud put up as James Madison's starting quarterback in 2023, but he still finished with a strong season in his own right. His 33 total touchdowns were good for second in the Sun Belt, behind McCloud who transferred to Texas State.

19. Tyler Huff, Jacksonville State

Stats: 157-of-259, 2,179 yards, 13 TD, 6 INT; 1,343 rush yards, 14 TD

Huff finished second to Army's Bryson Daily among quarterbacks with 1,343 rushing yards on 6.2 yards per carry, and he made a far bigger impact in the passing game. The Furman transfer had six 100-yard rushing games and four 200-yard passing games, and he had 176 passing yards, 167 rushing yards and three total touchdowns in a 52-12 rout of Western Kentucky in the Conference USA championship game.

18. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor

Stats: 199-of-317, 2,626 yards, 26 TD, 7 INT; 227 rush yards, 4 TD

A 4-star recruit who began his college career at Mississippi State, Robertson was set to sit behind Toledo transfer Dequan Finn this season, but he took over as the starter after Finn went down with an injury and made the most of the opportunity. Over his final eight games, he threw for 2,163 yards with 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing percent of his passes.

17. Riley Leonard, Notre Dame

Stats: 194-of-293, 2,092 yards, 16 TD, 5 INT; 721 rush yards, 14 TD

Leonard is not the same pocket passer Fighting Irish fans got used to while watching Sam Hartman last season, but it's hard to argue with 30 total touchdowns and an 11-1 record from the Duke transfer. He made more of an impact through the air down the stretch, with seven of his 16 passing touchdowns coming over the final three games against Virginia, Army and USC.

16. Quinn Ewers, Texas

Stats: 233-of-352, 2,665 yards, 25 TD, 9 INT; -62 rush yards, 1 TD

Despite missing almost three full games with an oblique injury, Ewers still eclipsed the 22 touchdown passes he threw during the 2023 season. His dud against Georgia in the SEC championship game keeps him from ranking any higher as he was picked off twice while completing less than 60 percent of his passes in a 22-19 overtime loss.

Nos. 15-11

LaNorris Sellers Isaiah Vazquez/Getty Images

15. Chandler Morris, North Texas

Stats: 322-of-512, 3,774 yards, 31 TD, 12 INT; 242 rush yards, 4 TD

After one season at Oklahoma and three at TCU, Morris has been turned loose in the North Texas offense. He ranks among the FBS leaders in completions (322, third), attempts (512, second) and passing yards (3,774, fifth), pacing the AAC in all three categories. He had four 400-yard passing games, and he threw at least three touchdown passes seven times.

14. LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina

Stats: 172-of-265, 2,274 yards, 17 TD, 7 INT; 655 rush yards, 7 TD

Sellers has been the driving force in the six-game winning streak South Carolina ripped off to end the regular season. During that stretch, he racked up 1,481 passing yards, 436 rushing yards and 17 total touchdowns while picking up wins over Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Wofford and Clemson. Full-blown stardom could be on the horizon in 2025.

13. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State

Stats: 192-of-304, 2,663 yards, 24 TD, 5 INT; 383 rush yards, 5 TD

A 4-star recruit in 2023 who began his college run at Michigan State, Leavitt transferred to Arizona State last offseason and has been a big reason why the Sun Devils went from being picked to finish last in the Big 12 preseason poll to playing in the College Football Playoff. When he wasn't handing the ball to star running back Cam Skattebo, he led the Big 12 with 8.8 yards per pass attempt.

12. Drew Allar, Penn State

Stats: 224-of-324, 2,894 yards, 21 TD, 7 INT; 279 rush yards, 6 TD

After averaging just 6.8 yards per attempt and completing 59.9 percent of his passes in his first season as the Penn State starter in 2023, Allar took a major step forward this season, upping those marks to 8.9 yards per attempt and a 69.1 percent completion rate. Will he declare for the 2025 draft or return for another year?

11. Bryson Daily, Army

Stats: 45-of-78, 877 yards, 8 TD, 1 INT; 1,480 yards, 29 TD

Daily led all quarterbacks and ranked among the FBS leaders in rushing yards (1,480, ninth) and rushing touchdowns (29, t-1st) while running point for Army's triple-option offense. He had nine straight games with at least 100 rushing yards to close out the regular season, and he tallied 25 carries for 126 yards and four touchdowns against Tulane in the AAC championship game. He only attempted double-digit passes twice, but he did toss eight touchdown passes.

Nos. 10-6

Cade Klubnik David Jensen/Getty Images

10. Kyle McCord, Syracuse

Stats: 367-of-558, 4,326 yards, 29 TD, 12 INT; -58 rush yards, 3 TD

After falling short of expectations during his time at Ohio State, McCord had a record-setting season at Syracuse, setting the school's record for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a season. He led the nation in pass attempts and passing yards, and he tallied 300 passing yards in 11 of his 12 games. A five-interception game against Pittsburgh is the only reason he doesn't rank higher.

9. Jalen Milroe, Alabama

Stats: 189-of-287, 2,652 yards, 15 TD, 10 INT; 719 rush yards, 20 TD

Milroe tallied 10 of his 15 passing touchdowns through the first four games of the 2024 season, and he then did more damage with his legs than he did with his arm. He had 185 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns in a win over LSU and 107 rushing yards and three touchdowns against Auburn in the Iron Bowl. His 35 total touchdowns led the SEC and ranked seventh in the nation.

8. Will Howard, Ohio State

Stats: 227-of-314, 2,860 yards, 27 TD, 8 INT; 131 rush yards, 7 TD

Howard had 2,643 yards with 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2023 at Kansas State before becoming one of the most high-profile transfers in the portal last offseason when he replaced Kyle McCord under center for the Buckeyes. He struggled in a costly loss to Michigan in Week 14, throwing for just 175 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, but that doesn't erase an overall terrific season.

7. John Mateer, Washington State

Stats: 224-of-347, 3,139 yards, 29 TD, 7 INT; 826 rush yards, 15 TD

After sharing a quarterback room with Cam Ward in 2022 and 2023, Mateer replaced him as the Cougars starter after he transferred to Miami. The dual-threat standout was one of the biggest breakout stars of the 2024 season, and his 44 total touchdowns led all FBS players, as he had four games with at least four passing touchdowns and at least one rushing touchdown in 11 of his 12 games.

6. Cade Klubnik, Clemson

Stats: 282-of-443, 3,303 yards, 33 TD, 5 INT; 458 rush yards, 7 TD

Klubnik threw for 2,844 yards with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions in his first season as Clemson's starter in 2023, and those numbers spiked across the board in his second year in the role. He had eight games with at least three passing touchdowns, including a standout performance in the ACC championship game against SMU where he threw for 262 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-31 win to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Nos. 5-1

Cam Ward Bryan Bennett/Getty Images

5. Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss

Stats: 249-of-363, 3,875 yards, 25 TD, 6 INT; 452 rush yards, 3 TD

The Ole Miss Rebels fell short of lofty expectations this season, but Dart still put together a stellar individual campaign, leading the SEC in passing yards (3,875), completion percentage (68.6), yards per attempt (10.7) and passer rating (177.7). He had a ridiculous 515-yard, six-touchdown performance on the road against Arkansas in Week 10.

4. Kurtis Rourke, Indiana

Stats: 202-of-287, 2,827 yards, 27 TD, 4 INT; -25 rush yards, 2 TD

After throwing for 7,651 yards and 50 touchdowns in five seasons at Ohio University, Rourke landed at Indiana in the transfer portal and led the Hoosiers to the first 10-win season in school history and a spot in the College Football Playoff. He was one of only six FBS quarterbacks with at least 250 pass attempts and a 70 percent completion rate.

3. Cam Ward, Miami

Stats: 293-of-435, 4,123 yards, 36 TD, 7 INT; 196 rush yards, 4 TD

Ward spent several weeks in the No. 1 spot in these rankings throughout the 2024 season, but losses on the road against Georgia Tech and Syracuse in November knocked the Hurricanes out of the CFP picture and Ward out of the top spot. The Washington State transfer led all FBS quarterbacks with 36 passing touchdowns.

2. Dillon Gabriel, Oregon

Stats: 297-of-406, 3,558 yards, 28 TD, 6 INT; 192 rush yards, 7 TD

Gabriel led the Big Ten in completions (297), passing yards (3,558), passing touchdowns (28) and completion percentage (73.2), and he had, arguably, his best game of the season in the Big Ten championship with 283 yards and four touchdowns. He moved into No. 2 on the NCAA's all-time leaderboard for career passing yards (18,423) and passing touchdowns (153) in 2024.

1. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Stats: 337-of-454, 3,926 yards, 35 TD, 8 INT; -16 rush yards, 4 TD

Sanders led the nation in completion percentage (74.2%) and was tops in the Big 12 in almost every passing category while leading Colorado to a 9-3 record and its first winning season since 2016. He wrapped up the regular season by completing 34-of-41 pass attempts for 438 yards and five touchdowns against Oklahoma State to clinch the No. 1 spot in these rankings.
