From Bear Bachmeier’s electrifying freshman campaign at BYU to highly touted recruit Julian Lewis poised to lead Colorado, the race for quarterback supremacy is wide open. Houston’s Connor Weigman adds further intrigue, while names like UCF’s former Sun Belt Player of the Year transfer Alonza Barnett keep the spotlight on every snap.
