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 research to make sure this is the most accurate resource for QB injury and depth chart news on the internet.

The 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 QB newsletter sent to your inbox every weekday. You’ll receive a quarterback recruiting, transfer portal, depth chart and injury post five days a week with one edition for free subscribers.

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 (March 19, 2024) — Sellers took the first reps during practice with Ashford running the second team, followed by Beville. Sellers played three games in a reserve role in 2023. Doty was listed as the backup to Rattler but played a significant role as a pass catcher. Ashford was the No. 2 option behind Thorne at Auburn with a regular role as a rushing threat, and Beville was outside the top two at Oklahoma last season.
