Rivals.com QB Week is inclusive. When it comes to the Power Conference programs, anyway.
It’s why we’ve compiled this list of the top-rated quarterback ever signed by each Power Five school. Subjectivity was not in play, and college careers were not considered. Each program’s representative was selected strictly by his rating as a high school or juco prospect. The list includes only players signed in the Rivals Era, which began with the class of 2002.
*Denotes a community college prospect, to which we deferred only if he claimed a higher star rating than the program’s highest-ranked high school signee.
