14. Minnesota – Tanner Morgan, Vic Viramontes, Zack Annexstad
Most reports coming out of spring practice had Tanner Morgan working with the first team for the Gophers. Morgan, a three-star recruit in the class of 2017, took a redshirt last year in P.J. Fleck’s first season as head coach. He impressed in the spring game, completing 18-of-28 passes for 272 yards and two scores, but still needs to hold off two competitors, junior college transfer Vic Viramontes and true freshman Zack Annexstad, to win the job. Viramontes was once committed to Michigan but signed with Cal. Annexstad, a Minnesota native, was the starting quarterback at IMG Academy. He got more reps than Viramontes in the spring game.

Go Gophers!!
 

These top QB lists are terrible. It should be:

- Ranked known quantities that are good.
- Guys we know suck but will start anyway.
- Then everyone else not ranked at all if they're unknowns.

I don’t understand how MN can be ranked lower than Illinois.

Cam Thomas was a mediocre recruit who was terrible in the little he played last season. 5 interceptions, 0 TDS. They had zero scholarship QBs until A.J. Bush graduate transferred. He’s thrown 19 career passes and been at three schools. He was rated a 79 by 247 coming out of high school.

An aside, 247 has an error in Cam Thomas’s stats. Is 247 run by high school interns? That site is riddled up and down with more unforced errors than the Bad News Bears. It is such an unreliable source of statistics I’m forced to cross check ESPN, CFBstats. Get your **** together.
 



Congrats, Pompous Elitist,

Gophers' QBs (unknown as they are) are better than Illinois'.

THERE's a cause for optimism.
