College football QB battles 2025: Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee settle depth charts as Week 1 approaches

As the 2025 college football season approaches, the quarterback dominoes are starting to fall. Most teams have wrapped their fall camp slates, or are nearing the end of their offseason practices ahead of game preparation, which means coaches are in decision-making mode when it comes to naming a starter. 

Some competitions are still ongoing when the actual games kick off as teams will use early season tune-up contests to see if one signal caller can pull ahead of the other in a live setting. But there are some prominent programs that have already announced who will be leading their offenses in 2025. 

Ohio State, Alabama and Tennessee are just some of the Power Four programs that have tabbed their starting quarterbacks already. The Buckeyes are trying to repeat as national champions, while Tennessee would like to build on its first College Football Playoff appearance in program history.

There’s still a lot to be settled, but here’s a rundown of the quarterback battles that have been decided as the 2025 season nears.
