The Buzz: 5 College Quarterbacks Set to Break Out in 2025
As college football fans gear up for the 2025 season, one of the most exciting positions to watch is quarterback. Every year, new stars emerge, veterans aim to cement their legacies, and potential NFL prospects take center stage. This fall camp promises to be no different, with a fresh crop of quarterbacks already generating buzz across multiple conferences. From dynamic dual-threats to polished pocket passers, these five signal-callers have shown glimpses of greatness and now have a chance to elevate their games. Here are five quarterbacks making serious noise heading into fall camp, each with unique stories and promising outlooks. Sawyer Robertson - Baylor Sawyer Robertson has quietly become one of the more compelling stories in the Big 12. After transferring from Mississippi State to Baylor, he finally got his chance in 2024 - and capitalized. Robertson led Baylor to a six-game winning streak, posted a top-five national QBR of 83.7, and threw for 3,071 yards with 28 touchdowns against just eight interceptions. He also added 230 rushing yards and four scores on the ground. Under offensive coordinator Jake Spavital's system, which suits his dual-threat style, Robertson is poised for further growth as Baylor returns a loaded offense. Miller Moss - Louisville Miller Moss transferred from USC to Louisville, where he will look to take a big step forward in 2025. Through 21 career games, Moss has thrown for 3,458 yards, averaging 7.6 yards per attempt, with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Louisville fans will be watching to see if Moss can break out like former USC QB Tyler Shough did after his move to Louisville, eventually becoming a second-round NFL draft pick. Josh Hoover - TCU The Horned Frogs bring back last year's leading passer in the Big 12, Josh Hoover. Hoover shattered TCU's single-season passing record with 3,949 yards and threw 27 touchdowns in his first full year as a starter. A big-time gunslinger with a penchant for attacking defenses downfield, Hoover no doubt has the potential to be one of college football's best in 2025. Despite losing key targets from last season, Hoover showed in spring ball he remains a legit threat. Demond Williams Jr. - Washington The Washington Huskies are high on Demond Williams Jr., a dynamic dual-threat quarterback who impressed during his freshman campaign with 944 passing yards, eight touchdowns, one interception, and 282 rushing yards. Williams recently won the Air It Out Challenge at the Manning Passing Academy, a contest testing accuracy on moving and stationary targets. At 5-foot-11 and around 190 pounds, Williams combines precision and mobility as he prepares for his first full season as UW's starting QB. He's a little undersized, but for what he lacks in stature, he makes up for in pure ability. Ty Simpson - Alabama Ty Simpson played sparingly last season, appearing in six games and throwing for 179 yards without a passing touchdown. However, Simpson is now poised for a breakout year as Alabama's likely starter under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Grubb has expressed confidence in Simpson, naming him the probable starter over highly regarded talents Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. A former five-star recruit from Tennessee's 2022 class, Simpson's patience and leadership have earned him the trust of his teammates and coaches ahead of what could be a defining season in Tuscaloosa.

Official: No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe inks rookie-scale contract with 76ers
Former Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe, the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, signed his rookie-scale contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, the team announced. Edgecombe was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, averaging 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals on 34% shooting from 3-point range. He finished in double figures 27 times, including a season-high 30 points on Jan. 22 in a win over Kansas State. He will make $11,108,880 next season, according to Spotrac. The 19-year-old is one of the most athletic players in the draft and was an offensive force when he got downhill, thanks to his shiftiness, vision and decision-making. He also projects the ability to affect games at a high level on defense due to his length and instincts. Edgecombe put himself on the radar last year after dazzling with the Bahamas in the Olympic qualifying tournament. On a team featuring Deandre Ayton, Eric Gordon and Buddy Hield, Edgecombe finished third in scoring, averaging 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists. The 6-foot-5 guard is highly touted for his athleticism, size and ability to score and defend. His fit next to the likes of Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain may not be seamless, but the Sixers are confident they selected the best player available with the pick. Edgecombe will suit up for the Sixers in the Salt Lake City Summer League beginning on Saturday and the NBA Summer League July 10-20 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The team will play three games in Utah and at least five in the desert.
