South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers could be the first quarterback taken in the NFL draft in 2026 .

Indiana 's Fernando Mendoza could be among the most consequential for next year's draft.

Baylor's Sawyer Robertson is one of the country's most precise downfield passers.

Eli Holstein could be in line to raise his profile significantly with another impressive campaign.

Pitt 's Holstein missed almost the entirety of last year's final four games due to leg and head injuries.

The 6-4 , 225 -pounder should have little trouble catching scouts' eyes, whether for the 2026 draft or beyond.

Miller Moss spent three years as a backup before getting his shot to become the starter at USC .

Michigan State quarterback Chiles signed for the Spartans in December 2023 .

Chiles threw for just 13 touchdowns with 11 interceptions last season .

Tamping down on his turnover-prone ways will be a vital step in Chiles' development.
