We know that the Pac-12 is expected to be one of the preeminent conferences in the nation this upcoming season when it comes to quarterback play. With reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams leading the way, you also have guys like Bo Nix, Michael Penix, Cam rushing, and DJ Uiagalelei taking center stage out west. It would be hard to find another conference in the nation that has as many projected stars among the starters.
While it’s clear that 2023 will not be a problem for passers in the Pac, we wanted to take a look at the future. Recently, ESPN released their Top 25 Future Quarterback Power Rankings, where they looked at the current landscape of passers, as well as the depth chart, incoming recruits, and propensity to land transfers at that position. A handful of Pac-12 teams were ranked prominently, but there were several other teams that got cut.
We wanted to take things a little bit further and flesh out where all of the Pac-12 teams stand when it comes to future QB production and success.
The Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies may be set up for success under center in 2023, but what does the future look like based on depth? The USC Trojans bring back a Heisman winner this year, but is the future just as bright in Los Angeles?
Let’s find out. Here are our Pac-12 Future QB Power Rankings.
