Tyler Tettleton, Jr., Ohio

CosbySweaters.com: 16 College Quarterbacks on the Rise

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 198
Team Record: (10-3)

Tettleton is a smaller QB that has proven to be a warrior as he rushed for over 600 YDS and 10 TDs last year. Additionally, Tettleton threw for 28 TDs with a 64.2 completion percentage. If all keeps going well, Tettleton could prove to be a smaller version of Tebow during his final years at Ohio. He has what it takes to become an elite QB in the MAC conference. Tettleton led the Bobcats to a 10-4 record in 2011 and will return with 12 players, including a WR, a TE, and two linemen.(AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

Names You Probab...
The following list is comprised of quarterbacks that not yet are household names, unless you are a diehard fan of that specific team, that have shown the ability to lead their teams to victory. Although still not considered in the league with guys such as Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, Logan Thomas, Tyler Wilson, and Aaron Murray, who are arguably the top 5 QBs entering fall, expect a few from the following list to have outstanding seasons. All of these returning starters look to lead their teams from subpar records to bowl berths and magical runs. If you put a few of these guys on rosters that are as loaded up as USC, LSU, and Oklahoma, these names would be seen in a new and broader limelight.

B.J. Daniels, Sr...
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 233
Team Record: (5-7)

With 38 TDs in the past 2 seasons, Daniels is the classic duel threat (602 YDS, 6 TDs rushing), leading an offense that averaged 249.6 passing yards a game last season. With both WRs back, if Daniels can stay healthy he has the ability to elevate a mediocre USF program above to an above 500 record. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)

Derek Carr, Jr.,...
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 201
Team Record: (4-9)

Brother of highly touted David Carr, and we all know how that turned out. However this is still college, and Carr has shown the ability to pass with efficiency and confidence as he put up over 3,500 YDS and 26 TDs in 2011. If 14 other returning starters can rally around Carr, look for the Bulldogs to make waves in a weakened Mountain West Conference. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)

Alex Carder, Sr....
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 225
Team Record: (5-7)

Carder is a stud, posting 61 career TD tosses to only 26 interceptions. With great size and arm strength, Carder could start at many more noteworthy schools around the country despite a below 500 record in 2011. He tossed 7 TDs vs. Toledo last year and has thrown for over 7,000 yards in the past 2 seasons. With 11 returning starters, watch for Carder to throw the ball in 2012 and exit with a bang.

James Franklin, ...
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 225
Team Record: (7-5)

Franklin blew up the Big 12, accumulating over 3,800 total yards in 2011. With the ability to run (981 yds, 17 TDs in 2011) and freshman standout Dorial Green Beckham in the mix at WR, Franklin’s strong play is the Tigers only chance to make a statement in the SEC. If he can fully recover from off season shoulder surgery, Franklin could easily enter the 3,000/1,000 offensive yard club. (AP Photo/L.G. Patterson)

Bryn Renner, Jr....
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 215
Team Record: (7-6)

Renner was extremely efficient leading the ACC in 2011, despite the Tar Hells overall record. With 26 TDs to 13 picks last season, Renner should continue to improve now that he is not injured with a spurred bone in his foot. Only a junior, Renner should have an excellent campaign in 2012 as star running back Giovani Bernard will take a load off the youngster’s arm. A new, up-tempo offense and the return of Erik Highsmith at WR should also help. On 9/23/11 Renner was 22/23 as the Tar Hells beat James Madison 42-10. (AP Photo/ Richard Shiro)

Ryan Nassib, Sr....
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 229
Team Record: (5-7)

With 44 career TD passes and great size, Nassib should continue to improve as 15 starters return, including the bulk of the offensive line. Look for Nassib to build on 22 TD passes and a record above 500. In 2010 Nassib proved he could lead a subpar squad to 8 wins as they beat Kansas State in the Pinstripe Bowl, look for similar results this upcoming season. (AP Photo/Kevin Rivoli)

Jeff Tuel, Sr., ...
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 225
Team Record: (4-8)

Injuries have been a problem, but Tuel could be a factor if he can sustain his health for his feet and past success are too noteworthy to pass up. With good size, strength, and Leach at the helm, expect Tuel to have a bounce back season. Proving he can play at a high level, Tuel had 18 TDs passes to 12 interceptions in 2010 posting an efficiency of 133.3 (AP Photo/Dean Hare)

Colby Cameron, S...
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 205
Team Record: (8-5)

With only 3 interceptions in 7 starts, Cameron enters the 2012 season with confidence, and more importantly, experience that could give a Bulldogs, a team that returns 14 starters, the push they need to edge to get over a 24-31 bowl loss to TCU. With 13 TD passes and 3 picks Cameron has shown an ability to be extremely efficient. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)

Mike Glennon, Sr...
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 232
Team Record: (8-5)

Trailing only Philip Rivers, as far as school records go, Glennon threw 31 TD passes last season and has the size and strength that scouts love. If NC State can build on 2011, it is scary to think what the huge QB could do in the ACC. (AP Photo/Steve Helber)

Jordan Wynn Sr. ...
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 202
Team Record: (8-5)

With a 13-6 career record as a starter, despite 2 shoulder surgeries in 10 months, Wynn has the know-how to lead Utah to victory in the Pac-12. Wynn arguably rests as the No. 2 QB in the Pac-12, behind signal caller Matt Barkley. With 2 returning senior WRs and a solid defense, look for Utah to potentially make waves in the Pac-12. Look for Wynn to return to the hype that once surrounded his name when he started as a true freshman, boasting 31 TD passes and 16 picks over his 3 year career. Wynn led Utah to a (10-3) record in 2010. (AP Photo/Jim Urquhart)

Tino Sunseri, Sr...
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 215
Team Record: (6-7)

With Ray Graham, returning receivers, and new coach Paul Chryst, look for Sunseri to improve upon last year when he threw 11 TD to 10 interceptions. If some things can come together, the athletic QB should be able to improve upon a below sub-acceptable record in 2011. With 28 career TD tosses and 5,302 career passing yards Sunseri has proved his is capable of throwing the rock. The 2012 season will prove to be his biggest test yet. (AP Photo/Butch Dill)

Teddy Bridgewate...
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 208
Team Record: (6-7)

Bridgewater started 10 games as a true freshman and posted 14 TDs to 12 interceptions. He will be the lead man for an up-and-coming Louisville team that returns 12 starters from a promising 2011 squad and is getting strong press around the country. As Bridgewater gets more comfortable, look for the young QB to become a household name by the end of this next season as Louisville is expected by many to be a solid squad. Priority No. 1, protecting their young QB. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)

Blaine Gautier, ...
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 205
Team Record: (10-3)

Gautier had an impressive year in 2011, passing for 23 TDs and only 6 picks. He passed for 470 yards and 3 scores to beat the Aztecs 32-30 in the New Orleans Bowl. Gautier broke former school standout Delhomme’s single season records with 2,901 passing yards. Despite playing in only 9 games this past year, Gautier led the SBC conference and was the most efficient passer overall. (AP Photo/Wily Low)

Colin Klein Sr. ...
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 226
Team Record: (10-3)

After moving from WR to QB, Klein has proved to be a force under center. With 1,141 rushing yards and 1,918 yards through the air, Klein should scare opponents once again with his ability to take off. As Klein scored 27 rushing scores in 2011, look for the big QB to build upon the passing game as defenses will be aiming to stop him and his legs. (CosbySweaters)
