In Today’s Edition, you’ll get an updated look at the 2024 FBS quarterback depth charts. I’m covering the last two weeks of roster movement, and the transfer portal window came and went during that time. Needless to say, you’ll be getting another update tomorrow with everything I’ve yet to catch up on.

Offseason depth charts are projections for who will crack the two-deep in 2024. These will never be perfect without a regulated system in college football, 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. Information on these posts come from beat writers, sports information directors and various industry sources with a lot of reading.

The Gunslinger Buzz is an independent college football newsletter covering quarterback recruiting, transfer portal, depth chart and injury news. You’ll get every post sent to your inbox with one edition for free subscribers each week.

A paid subscription gets you everything including the full archive for $6/month or $60/year.

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.

LATEST UPDATE (April 30, 2024) — Martinez entered the transfer portal and was likely the No. 3 option. In late March, OC Jake Spavital said it’s still too early to tell who will be named the starting QB. HC Dave Aranda previously said he’d like to name a starting QB coming out of spring practice. Finn was a three-year starter at Toledo, and Robertson was the backup to Shapen in 2023.

EAST CAROLINA PIRATES

Jake Garcia (stats)

LATEST UPDATE (April 30, 2024) — Little entered the transfer portal because OC Donnie Kirkpatrick retired, and he wants to compete for a job. Houser and Garcia split reps evenly throughout spring, and HC Mike Houston called the competition “neck and neck,” according to Hoist The Colours’ Stephen Igoe in early April. Houser took over as the Michigan State starter early in the 2023 season, and Garcia was the third-string option at Missouri.
