College football’s spring season is here. Here’s a look at the top 10 quarterbacks to watch in spring camps.

The 2017 football season will be full of high-powered offenses. Last year, a plethora of defensive players shined for their respective teams to get Heisman nods. However, this year, marks another year where a lot of quarterbacks will be high on the radar.

Louisville Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson took the 2016 season by storm with a number of highlight plays. Jackson ran away with the Heisman Trophy without much competition. He beat Clemson Tigers’ quarterback Deshaun Watson for the award, winning by about 600 points in the final vote. Next season could see Jackson back on the Heisman stage, but he’ll have plenty of company.

Jackson will have competition this year at the quarterback position. There’s quarterback rising sophomore Dakota Prukop, who should fare well under new head coach Willie Taggart’s system. The true freshman threw for 1,214 passing yards, eight touchdowns and just two interceptions for the 3-7 Ducks last season.

Then there’s Jarrett Stidham, former Baylor quarterback, who is now eligible at Auburn this spring. Auburn struggled last season on deciding between quarterback John Franklin III and Sean White.

Needless to say, there will be a lot of quarterbacks to watch this spring. Here’s a look at the top 10 quarterbacks heading into spring camp.
