My Top Three

A look at the biggest stories in quarterback movement, depth chart, injury and eligibility news

CJ MONTES

Fordham transfer CJ Montes committed to Kent State and could immediately challenge for the starting spot in 2025 with two years of eligibility remaining. He started three games last fall before a knee injury ended his season and will join a quarterback room that dealt with major injuries in 2024 including Devin Kargman, JD Sherrod and Dru DeShields.

ANTHONY CHICCITT

Robert Morris transfer Anthony Chiccitt committed to Temple for his final year of eligibility. He spent five seasons with the Colonials and joins the Owls as a two-year starter. Evan Simon started nine games at Temple last season, and Forrest Brock started three. All three options have one season left unless Tyler Douglas challenges for the top spot.

TREY KUKUK

Saddleback transfer QB Trey Kukuk committed to Louisiana Tech after his true freshman season. The former 2024 3⭐ recruit completed 69.4% of passes with 27 TDs and 9 INTs at the JUCO level this fall. Kukuk has three years of eligibility remaining with a redshirt available, and his top competition is Evan Bullock, who took over as the starter last season.


Group of 5 QB Notebook

EVAN SVOBODA

Wyoming QB Evan Svoboda is listed as a tight end on the roster. He started nine games at quarterback in 2024 but lost the QB1 role to Kaden Anderson, who will likely begin his first full season as the starter. The Cowboys added JUCO transfer Landon Sims, who seems to be a strong candidate to crack the two-deep.
