2025 Preseason All-SEC Quarterback Predictions

It’s been a wild offseason for the SEC quarterbacks and there hasn’t been a lack of drama.

Here’s a quick recap of some of the more notable events:

• Georgia’s Carson Beck took his talents to south beach;
• Nico Iamaleava tried holding out for more money, got cut and is now at UCLA;
• Oklahoma’s starting quarterback last year, Jackson Arnold, left the Sooners for Auburn;
• Mississippi State’s true freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren transferred to LSU;
• At least two other SEC quarterbacks had reportedly received offers of $4-$8 million to enter the portal and didn’t;
• And a Manning is once again a SEC starting quarterback.

You may not like the transfer portal, but you have to admit all of that was entertaining. You don’t see quarterback movement like that in the NFL, where good starting quarterbacks rarely ever hit the open market. They might get traded, but even then, the best ones stay with their teams until the team decides they’re no longer any good.

In college, a talented quarterback can decide to do what’s best for them. Bad situation, team or coach? They can leave. In the NFL, they’re told where to go and are stuck, even if the organization is bad.

But it should be noted the SEC’s best quarterbacks aren’t transfers. Instead they’re players who were with their current teams a year ago. They’re also the most likely ones to be named to the preseason All-SEC teams.

Here’s our prediction for what the All-SEC preseason quarterback choices will be at next month’s SEC Media Days in Atlanta:
