re: PFF Ranking All Starting College Quarterbacks:

25. TEXAS A&N: KELLERN MOND
Mond is set to be the next Jimbo Fisher quarterback to hear his name called early in the NFL draft as he took control of the Aggies offense a year ago. His career-high overall and passing grade are great signs for the future as he strung together some big-time performances and totaled 3,110 passing yards with another 657 on the ground. A threat with the ball in his hands either from the pocket or outside, Mond can move defenses and is sharp with his reads, something he’ll have to rely on with Texas A&M’s gauntlet of a schedule this year (@ Clemson, vs Alabama, vs Auburn, @ Ole Miss, @ Georgia, @ LSU).


29. MISSOURI: KELLY BRYANT
The lost man at Clemson, Bryant quietly performed well above-average in 2017 as the starter before making way for Lawrence a year ago and transferring to the Tigers. In that 2017 season, he led the ACC in adjusted completion percentage and set career-highs in overall and passing grade as he’ll look to add a new dynamic to the Missouri offense that they haven’t seen in a few years with Drew Lock at the helm. Bryant averaged 4.8 yards per carry, forced 36 missed tackles and gained 464 yards after contact on the ground in 2017 as he’s a true dual-threat behind center.


33. SOUTH CAROLINA: JAKE BENTLEY
Speaking of veteran signal-callers, Bentley has manned the ship at South Carolina for the past three seasons, averaging a career 7.5 yards per attempt. Gone are some of his playmakers from year’s past but Bentley is every bit as good a quarterback no matter who he’s throwing to. When targeting wide receivers, he’s seen a 100.9 and when targeting running backs, he’s seen a passer rating of 103.0.


43. FLORIDA: FELEIPE FRANKS
Extremely inconsistent with his performances, Franks’ good play was certainly outweighed by his bad play a year ago. Still, with an improved situation going forward, he’s in the best position of his career to succeed. More games like that against Florida State and fewer games like that against Kentucky a year ago and the Gators will be sitting pretty. They do have the advantage in the season opener against Miami *see above.


46. KENTUCKY: TERRY WILSON
Wilson takes care of the football when needed in the passing game and can take off with it when all breaks down in front of him. That being said, his anticipatory throws are a thing of beauty but need to come far more than they did a season ago for the Wildcats to be considered a scary aerial attack. Until then, Wilson can rely on his rushing ability that is among the nation’s best. His 692 total rushing yards and 417 yards after contact all lead the conference.


50. OLE MISS: MATT CORRAL
Corral wowed in his limited time in the Rebels offense last season, coming away with an 88.5 overall grade on 67 snaps through four games. He uncorked a big-time throw on one of his 22 attempts last year and had a 72.7% completion percentage while averaging a ridiculous 10.9 yards per attempt. He showcased what made him such a highly-prized recruit and even added a solid rushing attack to an already impressive passing ability. The future is bright for Ole Miss with him behind center.


63. MISSISSIPPI STATE: TOMMY STEVENS
Stevens has transferred away from Penn State after Sean Clifford has taken the reigns in the post-Trace McSorley era. Stevens enters with a year of eligibility left and some positive grades early in his career, in limited samples. He’s got all the talent and will finally have his shot.


85. VANDERBILT: RILEY NEAL/DEUCE WALLACE
The Ball State transfer has three years of average grades and a season of above-average grades that came in an injury-shortened season of 2017. Still, Neal now has a chance to show his skillset against the SEC and will have an uber-talented tight end to throw to. His career grade against all opponents is a solid 73.1 but dips to a 60.3 when playing against Power-5 competition, something he’ll have to obviously improve upon with Vandy’s schedule. Wallace has attempted just 22 passes and nothing has been learned about who has the leg up entering the season as the quarterbacks have been off-limits to media this offseason. [/i]


96. AUBURN: JOEY GATEWOOD
The former No. 1 athlete from the state of Florida, Gatewood has been committed to the Auburn Tigers since 2015. However, he attempted just a single pass and had just five carries a season ago as he waited out Jarrett Stidham’s tenure. Perhaps an untapped jewel, Gatewood’s top-50 ranked high school profile follows him with lofty expectations to rise fast on this list in 2019.


102. ARKANSAS: BEN HICKS/NICK STARKEL
On one hand, Hicks has raised his grade in each of the past three seasons. On the other, his career overall grade drops from 64.6 against all competition all the way down to just a 39.0 against Power-5 competition. He’s got a ways to go in terms of playing up to his opponent and he’ll have to prove that in SEC play this year. Starkel had a fine season at Texas A&M in 2017 but lost that job to Kellen Mond and if he cannot beat out Hicks for the Razorbacks’ job, that 2017 seems to be becoming more of an anomaly with each passing day.
