The SEC is absolutely loaded with talent each and every year in college football, and the 2025 season should be no different. There are a number of rosters who will feel like they can compete for a conference title and a spot in the College Football Playoff this season, and the quarterbacks are a big reason why.
This season, the SEC will be home to two quarterbacks who will feel like they have a chance to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and two more who can claim the same for the 2027 draft. But who is the best of the bunch?

Still, the former five-star recruit has all the talent to end up much higher on this list at the end of the season, perhaps even in the top spot. He can make all the throws, showed off his very good athletic abilities last season in special packages in the Texas offense, and is working with one of the best play callers in the world in Steve Sarkisian.
Manning posted superb numbers in a limited sample size last season, completing 61-of-90 passes for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions. A similar pace this year would put him right in the Heisman conversations provided that Texas is in the title picture as expected.
