Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted April 18 (edited) College Football News names the predicted starters at QB for B1G teams in 2024. 13 of the 18 starters (72.22%) are projected to be transfers. * = on Oregon's 2024 schedule TRANSFER QBs EXPECTED TO START: OREGON - Dillon Gabriel - Senior - Oklahoma - 2023 All B12 first-team QB. Stay healthy (knock wood) and Dillon will break Bo's record for starts by a college QB. With 16 or 17 games played to participate in the 2024 Playoff champ game, I expect Dante Moore (UCLA) will see the field. ILLINOIS * - Luke Altmeyer - Junior - Ole Miss - The Illini visit Autzen on 10/26; without The Galloping Ghost. INDIANA - Kurtis Rourke - Senior - Ohio U. - In addition to Rourke, new HC Curt Cignetti is bringing in 21 transfers, including 10 from his former school, James Madison. IOWA - Cade McNamara - Senior - Michigan - Hopefully, Altmeyer will stay healthy in 2024 and move the Hawkeyes O up from last place in the G5/P4. New OC Tim Lester replaces HC Ferentz's son. MARYLAND * - MJ Morris - Sophomore - NC State - Maryland, after an idle week, visits Autzen on 11/9, the week after Oregon plays Michigan in Ann Arbor. The Terrapins will be Oregon's 7th game without a break. Trap? MICHIGAN STATE * - Aden Chiles - Sophomore - Oregon State - Sparty Coach J Smith will be back on the Ducks visitor sideline on 10/5, the week before Brutus comes to town. Please Puddles, no looking ahead. MINNESOTA - Max Brosmer - Senior - New Hampshire. The Gophers went to Chip Kelly and Ryan Day's old stomping ground to bring in Brosmer who last season in FCS play threw for 3464 yards and 29 TDs. OHIO STATE * - Will Howard - Senior - Kansas State - Played the best of the Buckeyes QB in the spring game. 2nd team All-B12 QB in 2023, behind Dillon but ahead of Texas QB Ewers. The Buckeyes visit on 10/12 will be one of college football's 2024 games of the year. The first matchup of two and possibly three games between The Os in 2024-25. PURDUE * - Hudson Card - Senior - Texas - 10/19 The week after the Ohio State game, Oregon travels to W. Lafayette for its first trip to the Eastern time zone. Michigan, on 11/2, will be Oregon's only other trip to the Eastern time zone in 2024. Trap? RUTGERS - Athan Kaliakmanas - Junior - Minnesota - The 'Greek Rifle' fired blanks for The Gophers in 2023. Will the move East improve his play? In 2024, Rutgers misses Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State. Rutgers plays UCLA in NJ and USC in LA. UCLA * - Ethan Garbers - Senior - Washington - Oregon's first B1G game will be a trip to the Rose Bowl on 9/28 to play the Bruins. Hopefully, Oregon will also, after a 1st-round bye, play a second round of the Playoffs game in Pasadena on 1/1/25. USC - Jayden Maiava - Sophomore - UNLV - I believe Holiday Bowl hero Miller Moss will have an equal shot at being the Trojans starting QB. A bit surprising that the four West Coast B1G newbies will not play every season. In 2025, USC visits Eugene. WASHINGTON * - Will Rogers - Senior - Mississippi State - A terrific portal pickup by UW coach Jedd Fisch. But Will will miss throwing to UW's 2023 receiving corps. The Ducks after eight games straight, finally get a rest before UW visits on 11/30. https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/big-ten-quarterback-depth-charts-top-transfers-projected-starters-for-every-team-2024 Depending on what happens with the spring transfer portal, the other five B1G starters will be homegrown.
