The ACC has seen significant turnover at the quarterback position, with Darian Mensah transferring to Miami and potentially leading the Hurricanes to a national championship. Other notable players include California's Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who was a true freshman in 2024. While Mensah completed 66.8% of his passes last season, he led the ACC in passing yards (3,973) and passing touchdowns (34). If he can lead Miami to the College Football Playoff, he could be a Heisman Trophy finalist. Meanwhile, former Big Ten recruits Ethan Grunkemeyer and Lincoln Kienholz are making the transition to the ACC. In total, 11 of the 17 quarterbacks in these rankings will play for new teams in 2026.
