4. Quarterback isn’t at a premium in 2019

Fields and Lawrence were the head of the class of 2018, and 2018 quarterbacks as well. They were joined by Jarren Williams (Miami), Dorian Thompson-Robinson (UCLA), Tyler Shough (Oregon) and Cammon Cooper (Washington State) as the position has never seemed more loaded in a class, especially in the Pac 12, as 2018.

In stark contrast, the first quarterback ranked in the class of 2019 sits all the way down at number 31. At 31st overall sits Spencer Rattler, the 6-foot-2 quarterback from Arizona, who has pledged his loyalty to the Oklahoma Sooners and Lincoln Riley. After Rattler, Grant Gunnell of Texas is ranked 50th and is a verbal to Texas A&M, Bo Nix is 74th and a verbal to Auburn, Dylan Morris is 87th and a verbal to Washington, while Sam Howell of North Carolina is 167th overall.

Now, we haven’t had the spring 7-on-7’s and camps or the summer Elite 11 or The Opening. After those showcases, combines and competitions- quarterbacks may shoot up the overall rankings charts. Had JT Daniels, the USC signee for 2018, not reclassified he would have been the top rated player in the class of 2019. The Mater Dei prep quarterback decided to graduate early and that put him in the class of 2018 as he signed as a Trojan on National Signing Day.
