There is a reason that the University of Oklahoma is referred to as Quarterback U. When it comes to producing NFL quarterbacks and Heisman Trophy contenders, the Oklahoma Sooners and head coach Lincoln Riley are one of the best. Since the start of the century, quarterbacks wearing crimson and cream have won four Heisman Trophies and another was a finalist.
It all started with Jason White in the early part of the century. He led the Sooners to a BCS National Championship appearance, unfortunately, it didn’t go the way of Oklahoma. Sam Bradford, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray all joined White as quarterbacks to raise that trophy at the end of the season. The next on this list very well could be current front runner Spencer Rattler.
The question isn’t that if these quarterbacks were great at the collegiate level, it is where do they rank among the best in college football. ESPN ranked the top 60 quarterbacks*, Sooners Wire breaks down where OU passers sit.
