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

GEORGIA

Carson Beck declared for the NFL Draft on Instagram despite one year of eligibility remaining. This came five days after undergoing season-ending UCL surgery on his right elbow for an injury that occurred during the SEC Championship vs. Texas on Dec. 7. Gunner Stockton made his first career start in the College Football Playoff loss to Notre Dame and is the favorite on-the-roster option to start in 2025. Jaden Rashada entered the transfer portal this week, though he was behind true freshman Ryan Puglisi.

ALABAMA

Jalen Milroe declared for the NFL Draft via on Instagram with one year of eligibility remaining. Former 5⭐ Ty Simpson was listed as the backup for every game this fall and is the favorite to start in 2025 with two years left to play. Austin Mack and incoming true freshman Keelon Russell are his top two challengers on the roster.

MICHIGAN

Davis Warren suffered a torn ACL in the ReliaQuest Bowl win over Alabama, he announced on X. He reclaimed his starting role midway through the season and while no timetable has been reported, Warren will certainly be unavailable for most of the offseason, if not all. Even if he was fully healthy, the 2025 starter will come down to Fresno State transfer Mikey Keene and incoming true freshman Bryce Underwood.

NOTRE DAME

True freshman CJ Carr does not believe he’ll need surgery on his throwing elbow and feels as good as he did before the injury. Carr was outside the two-deep before suffering the injury in September and will compete with Steve Angeli and Kenny Minchey for the starting spot in 2025. The Fighting Irish revealed they will not be in the transfer quarterback market this offseason.
