With guys like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Quinn Ewers, J.J.

His stats are by far the best among the candidates, and though a lot of his numbers came against FCS schools and his team finished with the most losses of anyone on this list, it’s hard to argue against the fact that he’s been among the most electric players in the nation this year, regardless of his competition.
Washington QB Michael Penix (+1200)
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports
Previous Odds: +1000
2023 Stats: 307-for-466, 4,218 yards, 33 TDs, 9 INTs
