Overall, it is a solid group of passers. There are some obvious projections there, however.

First off, Nix has not been impressive through two seasons. Neither Gus Malzahn nor Chad Morris could get the former five-star to take the next step in his development, but there is still some potential there.

Based on these rankings, the crew over at 247Sports must believe Johnson is going to win LSU's quarterback competition. That would mean he's beaten out veteran Myles Brennan, and underclassmen T.J. Finley and Garrett Nussmeier. That isn't a reach though. Johnson looked the part of a true freshman in his limited action.

Then there is Bryce Young.

He's another former five-star who was rated the No. 2 overall prospect and top dual-threat quarterback in the 2020 class. He's expected to take over for Jones, but some might think No. 8 is too high for an unknown. However, because of his natural talent and the talent of those surrounding him, it's not a reach either.

Corral seems a little low.

Working in Lane Kiffin's offense, the rising junior was No. 5 in the nation in passing yards per game (333.7) in 2020. He also finished in the top 10 in touchdowns (29), yards per attempt (10.2) and completion percentage (70.9 percent).

Losing star pass-catchers Elijah Moore and Kenny Yeboah could hurt, but growth is expected from Corral this season -- and there's still talented weapons in the passing game. Brad Crawford, who compiled the list, did say Corral would be closer to the top 10 if his play weren't so erratic at times.

Daniels was a no-brainer to crack the top-5, but seeing him at No. 3 was a pleasant surprise.

What do you think of the list? Did 247Sports get it right? If not, what would you change?
