QB Room Report (FBS) 🏈 Tyler Buchner returns to Notre Dame

Quarterback depth chart & injury news - June 5, 2024

In Today’s Edition, you’ll get the most up-to-date version of the quarterback rooms for all 134 FBS programs. A few minutes before hitting the publish button, the 12-team College Football Playoff came out. Selection Sunday is Dec. 8 so for those keeping track at home, the transfer portal will open on Dec. 9 with the Early Signing Period set for Dec. 4-6.

I am working on a master schedule for all the key dates for the college football season in addition to the transfer portal and recruiting to make this a little easier for all of us. That will hit your inbox in the coming weeks.

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 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 and did not return 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.

• **Indicates player is serving an LDS mission OR attending service academy prep school.

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.

Boise State Broncos

Malachi Nelson
4 | 2023 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | CA

June 4, 2024 - Maddux Madsen is expected to be full go by the start of fall camp, a team spokesperson told me. Madsen announced he underwent surgery on Nov. 21 after suffering a leg injury on Nov. 12, which was the first game since taking over for Green as the starter. Nelson was outside the two-deep on USC’s 2023 roster and played one game as a true freshman.

Kadin Semonza
4 | 2023 ⭐⭐⭐ | CA
Aidan Leffler
3 | 2022 ⭐⭐ | IN

June 3, 2024 - Kelly is listed as a defensive back on the roster. He will see consistent duty on both sides of the ball but will not be a regular part of the QB room, a team spokesperson told me. Kelly took over as the starter midway through the 2023 season after Semonza shut things down when he reached four games to use a redshirt year.
