20. Taulia Tagovailoa, Maryland

Stats: 290-of-437, 3,377 yards, 25 TD, 11 INT; 18 rush yards, 5 TD

Tagovailoa became the Big Ten's all-time leading passer this season with 11,256 yards for his career. He overtook Curtis Painter (Purdue) for the record while also joining Adam Weber (Minnesota), Drew Brees (Purdue), Clayton Thorson (Northwestern), Sean Clifford (Penn State) and Brett Basanez (Northwestern) as the only 10,000-yard passers in conference history.

19. Byrum Brown, South Florida

Stats: 257-of-401, 3,078 yards, 23 TD, 11 INT; 745 rush yards, 11 TD

One of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks, Brown set the South Florida single-season passing record with 3,078 passing yards while also leading the Bulls in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He tallied four passing touchdowns against Charlotte in the regular-season finale to get South Florida to six wins, and it will face off against Syracuse in the Boca Raton Bowl.

18. Seth Henigan, Memphis

Stats: 294-of-442, 3,519 yards, 28 TD, 9 INT; 247 rush yards, 4 TD

A true freshman starter in 2021 who has thrown for at least 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in three straight seasons, Henigan has a chance to become the all-time leading passer at Memphis and in the AAC if he can provide more of the same next year. He currently sits sixth on the all-time list for the fledgling conference with 10,400 career passing yards.

17. Cameron Ward, Washington State

Stats: 323-of-485, 3,736 yards, 25 TD, 7 INT; 144 rush yards, 8 TD

One of a handful of quarterbacks on this list who has entered the transfer portal, Ward ranks fifth among FBS quarterbacks with 3,736 passing yards, and he improved across the board in his second year as the starter at Washington State. It will be interesting to see how he performs in a less pass-centric offensive attack.

16. Drake Maye, North Carolina

Stats: 269-of-425, 3,608 yards, 24 TD, 9 INT; 449 rush yards, 9 TD

Maye fell well short of duplicating his 4,321-yard, 38-touchdown performance as a first-year starter in 2022, but he still showed the tools to rank among the top quarterbacks NFL teams will be targeting for the upcoming draft class. He finished his season with lackluster performances on the road against Clemson (16-of-36, 209 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) and NC State (22-of-38, 254 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT), but he will have a chance to finish on a high note against West Virginia in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.
