When discussing the Big Ten, there is no position more consequential than that of the quarterback. While heading into 2025, no one has truly separated themselves from the crowded pack, there is no shortage of talent in the position group. Thus, with the question being who will emerge as the best of the bunch, the only thing one can potentially look into is the top 10 returning stat leaders, whether they are transferring into the conference or are already an entrenched Big Ten starter.
10. Preston Stone, Northwestern
2024 Stats: 30-51, 58.8% completion percentage, 421 yards, 5 interceptions
After starting his career as an SMU Mustang and emerging as the starter last year, a benching in favor of Kevin Jennings after splitting time in the first three games of the season saw Preston Stone transfer to the Wildcats. While certainly disappointed by not maintaining the starting job, his 2023 season is one of note, as he led the Mustangs to a 10-2 record, throwing for over 3,000 yards and leading them to the AAC championship game before a devastating injury ended his season. Look for him to gain a fresh start for the Wildcats, trying to turn around the David Braun era.
9. Demond Williams Jr, Washington
2024 Stats: 82-105, 944 yards, 78.1 CMP, 8 TDs, 1 INT
After following Jedd Fisch to Arizona, Demond Williams Jr. played sparingly while sitting behind the experienced Will Rogers, playing mostly in cleanup duty. However, his 13 games of experience could pay dividends for the Huskies as they try to stay competitive in the Big Ten. Demond Williams’ youth is also a positive factor, as he can only grow after flashing his major potential. With a young team for Washington overall, it would be no surprise if he hit the ground running as a full-time starter.
8. Jayden Maiava, USC
2024 Stats: 101-169, 1,201 yards, 59.8 CMP% 11 TDs, 6…
