Athlon Sports ranks every college football quarterback for 2022

Athlon Sports has ranked every starting Division I quarterback from No. 1 through No. 131 ahead of the 2022 college football season.

Coming in first place – Alabama‘s Bryce Young. Young completed 66.9% of his passes for 4,872 yards and 47 touchdowns. He also added another three scores on the ground, bringing his total to 50 touchdowns. This was after a freshman season that only saw the California native attempt 22 passes. In other words, Young proved to be an instant star for the Tide once being named the starting quarterback – and the obvious selection for the nation’s top quarterback in 2022.
