College Football QB Recruiting Daily

Yesterday’s Post - College Football QB Recruiting Daily - June 15, 2026

Tuesday, June 16, 2026
We are in an FBS and FCS quiet period. Today’s College Football QB Recruiting Daily includes a list of recent FBS, FCS, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO quarterback recruiting transactions. Paying subscribers get extra content with the following quarterback lists:

  • Recruits: Best available prospects and players committed to FBS, FCS, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO programs.

  • Transfers: Every uncommitted transfer and players committed to FBS, FCS, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO programs.

Attention Players + Parents! Use these lists to see the teams without quarterbacks committed in each class.


Covering hundreds of teams and thousands of players requires help from subscribers including fans, players, parents, coaches, SIDs, etc. Email GunslingerBuzz@gmail.com or DM on Twitter with any corrections or news tips.
