In Today’s Edition, you’ll get an update on FBS QB rooms. Hundreds of emails, texts, phone calls, DMs, Twitter searches and Google searches later, here’s the best I can do with the 2024 quarterback rooms for every FBS program. I’ve promised this for quite a while, but tomorrow’s edition will be a big update on FCS quarterback rooms. Adjust your lives accordingly.

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 a new post sent to your inbox every day for $6/month or $60/year.

Email GunslingerBuzz@gmail.com or DM on Twitter with questions, feedback and news tips.

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.

• **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.
