Newsstand: Where Notre Dame ranks in On3 quarterback unit rankings
On’3’s Jesse Simonton ranked the top 10 quarterback units in college football this week. He put Notre Dame’s four scholarship signal-callers at No. 6 on the list.
Here’s what Simonton said about the Irish quarterbacks…
Simonton: “The Irish have to feel good about their quarterback room entering 2024, as Marcus Freeman has a potential veteran starter in Duke transfer Riley Leonard plus two talented underclassmen in CJ Carr and Steve Angeli, both of whom made waves this spring with Leonard sidelined recovering from ankle surgery.”
Here’s Simonton’s complete top 10…
- Texas
- Ohio State
- Oregon
- Georgia
- Alabama
- Notre Dame
- Ole Miss
- LSU
- Florida
- Texas A&M
Of note, the Fighting Irish open the 2024 season on the road against Texas A&M on Aug. 31. Here’s what Simonton said about the Aggies’ QBs…
Simonton: “The Aggies have one of the wilder ceiling-to-floor quarterback rooms in the country this fall. Mike Elko inherited a trio of potential high-upside arms … but minimal overall experience.

“Connor Weigman has struggled to stay healthy for two seasons, but when available, the former 5-star recruit has flashed the talent to be the best quarterback in College Station since Johnny Manziel. Jaylen Henderson and Marcel Reed, two former blue-chip signees, put up big numbers (nearly 10.0 yards per attempt) in relief.”
