Transfer portal 2025 QB market heats up: Analyzing three top-ranked signal-callers and their potential fits

The college football transfer portal is already active, with notable players entering in search of greener pastures. Some high-quality quarterbacks have announced entry into the portal ahead of its official opening on Dec. 9. Texas A&M’s Conner Weigman is the top-ranked quarterback currently available, earning a 91 grade, followed by USC’s Miller Moss. Oklahoma’s Jackson Arnold also entered the portal after a challenging 2024 season with the Sooners.

Let’s look at the three best QBs currently in the transfer portal and where we think they should end up. 

Conner Weigman, Texas A&M

Third-year Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman entered the portal after an up-and-down 2024 season during which he also missed time due to injury for the second consecutive year. His absence allowed second-year quarterback Marcel Reed to take over, and Reed performed well at times as a dual-threat option.

Weigman showcased his ability with standout performances, such as an 18-of-22 passing display against Missouri, making rhythm throws between defenders. He’s a traditional dropback passer who thrives on progression reads and can deliver to all parts of the field. Weigman is adept at managing the line of scrimmage, relying on his football IQ and knowledge of coverage rather than explosive, game-changing throws. Though not immobile, his injury history and diminished mobility since high school — where he rushed for more than 2,000 yards in Texas 6A football — suggest he’s best suited for a system that doesn’t heavily feature quarterback runs.

Under Jimbo Fisher, the Aggies implemented a pro-style scheme that fit Weigman’s skill set better than Collin Klein’s run-heavy attack this past season. Syracuse and Missouri have been linked to Weigman as potential fits….
