Rising quarterbacks like Shedeur Sanders from Colorado, Rocco Becht from Iowa State, and Jake Retzlaff from BYU have emerged as top contenders leading their teams to success. The unexpected successes and disappointments in quarterback performance have shifted the dynamics of the conference, impacting the race for the Big 12 Championship Game.
In Tier II, quarterbacks like Avery Johnson from Kansas State, Sawyer Robertson from Baylor, and Brendan Sorsby from Cincinnati have shown promise and potential for further growth. However, several quarterbacks in Tier III and IV have struggled, including Noah Fifita from Arizona, Garrett Greene from West Virginia, and Jalon Daniels from Kansas.
On the lower end of the spectrum, quarterbacks like Zeon Chriss from Houston, Alan Bowman from Oklahoma State, and Isaac Wilson from Utah have faced challenges, impacting their teams’ overall performance. UCF’s quarterback situation remains uncertain, with Jacurri Brown among the options available.
The unexpected quarterback performances have shuffled the rankings in the Big 12 Conference, setting the stage for an intriguing second half of the season. Teams will continue to rely on their quarterbacks to lead them to success and secure their positions in the conference standings.
