College football’s 10 highest-graded quarterbacks in 2023

Good quarterback play is a constant theme for the top college football teams. Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy and Washington’s Michael Penix, the two quarterbacks of the national championship game, finished the year as two of Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded quarterbacks.

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was college football’s best player throughout the 2023 season. Daniels won the Heisman and helped LSU have one of the best offenses in the nation.

Looking ahead to 2024, Georgia has the country’s highest-graded returning starting quarterback in Carson Beck. Beck and Georgia are ranked as the No. 1 team in may way-too-early polls ahead of the 2024 college football season.
