2024 College Football QB Depth Chart & Injury Report: Offseason Notes - Part IX
A look at the 2024 quarterback rooms for all 134 FBS programs
A College Football QB Depth Chart & Injury Report is sent to your inbox every Monday all year round with notes on all 134 FBS programs. This post is updated weekly during the offseason and daily during the season.
I reached out to every FBS program over the past few weeks, so this week’s edition has plenty of new updates.
Offseason depth charts are my best guess at who’ll crack the two-deep in 2024. These will never be perfect without a regulated system, but I put in the time and research to make sure this is the most accurate resource for QB injury and depth chart news on the internet.
The in-season editions reflect what teams release if they decide to post one at all. Coaches mislead on injuries and depth charts every week, but I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying the biggest violators of quarterback misinformation.
Notes on in-season injury designations:
Questionable — Player suffered an injury in the previous game or has yet to return from injury.
Probable — Player suffered an injury but played and looked reasonably healthy in the previous game.
Out — Player is out indefinitely or will miss the rest of the season.
Notes on eligibility:
Players may play up to 4 games in a season without it counting toward a year of eligibility if they have a redshirt available.
2020 COVID season didn’t count toward a year of eligibility.
Years of eligibility shows years left heading into the 2024 season.
*Indicates redshirt is still available to use.
The top two quarterback options are in bold. The rest are sorted by years of eligibility remaining, followed by highest high school star rating from 247, On3 and Rivals.
