My Top Three
A look at the biggest stories in quarterback movement, depth chart, injury and eligibility news
MIKEY KEENE
Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene is aware he’s entering an open competition. The Wolverines rotated three starters with Alex Orji, Jack Tuttle and Davis Warren, and only Warren is returning, though he tore his ACL in the ReliaQuest Bowl. Keene has one year of eligibility remaining, and his top competition is likely true freshman Bryce Underwood.
QUINN EWERS
Texas QB Quinn Ewers declared for the NFL Draft despite having one year of eligibility remaining. He started every game he was healthy for this fall and will give way to Arch Manning, who played nine games with two starts in 2024. Manning has three years of eligibility left to play with freshmen Trey Owens and KJ Lacey as the top options behind him at this point.
TYLER VAN DYKE
SMU QB Tyler Van Dyke is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2025 season as he recovers from a torn ACL, head coach Rhett Lashlee said. He committed earlier this month and will likely use this as a redshirt year before getting a shot at a starting role in 2026. The multi-year starter at Miami played in part of three games in his lone season at Wisconsin before suffering the injury against Alabama on Sept. 14. Kevin Jennings is set to be a returning starter this fall with two years of eligibility remaining.
Power 4 QB Notebook
DESHAWN PURDIE
Charlotte transfer QB Deshawn Purdie flipped from Florida to Wake Forest after spending one season with the 49ers. He dealt with injuries in 2024 but played nine games with six starts before hitting the transfer portal with three years left and a redshirt available. The Gators are set at QB with DJ Lagway set to begin his first full season as the starter, while the Demon Deacons need to replace their top two quarterbacks Hank Bachmeier and Michael Kern. Purdie’s top competition is Robby Ashford, who spent last season with South Carolina.
