ESPNU 150: Which Committed QBs Are Best Set for Success?

There are 10 quarterbacks in the ESPNU Top 150. You may have seen or heard of some of them, and you may not have heard of some others.

Over the course of this weekend you will see seven of them, either in Under Armour All-American Game or US Army All-American Bowl.

These signal-callers are the quarterbacks of the future. Each year ESPN, Rivals and Scout, rank these young prospects and very frequently do we see them hit on some of the next big things.

For ESPNU's Top 150, here are the QBs best set for success.

Jameis Winston, Florida State, No. 11

The 6'4", 195-pound quarterback prospect is extremely raw, but extremely talented. He declared to play for the Seminoles and is one of the crown jewels of another startlingly talented class.

He starred in the Elite 11 Camp ESPN special and has not been forgotten since.

He'll go to Tallahassee with a chance to take over the starting job whenever he is ready. Soon-to-be sophomore Clint Trickett will be good competition, but Winston will have the opportunity to sit behind E.J. Manuel for at least one year to see how he does things.

If he develops, he'll have a talented bunch of players to grow with him.

Gunner Kiel, LSU, No. 20

Arguably the biggest story on the recruiting trail so far is the decommitment of Kiel from his hometown Indiana Hoosiers to join the LSU Tigers.

Not only was it surprising, but it puts Kiel in line to possibly take over as a freshman.

The 6'3", 215-pounder is walking into Death Valley knowing full well that Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee are graduating. Backup Zach Mettenberger has the inside track, but Kiel's talent could shine through immediately.

It certainly wouldn't be out of the question to see him start and succeed early and often in his career with the Bayou Bengals.

Connor Brewer, Texas, No. 34

The Longhorns, well, Mack Brown, clean up year after year at a number of positions. This year they've earned the commitment of yet another top young quarterback hoping he can give them the push they need.

The Garrett Gilbert era never worked out, and Case McCoy and David Ash can't figure out which one is worse.

Brewer, at 6'2", 190 pounds, has the frame to fill out more in college and has shown an arm capable of making all the throws.

Texas has a number of running backs joining the party in Austin and it wouldn't be out of the question for Mack Brown to give Brewer a shot to succeed right away. Should he take to it, there is no telling how good he could be.

Preston Dewey, Miami, No. 133

The 6'2", 200-pounder from Texas committed to the 'Canes last June and is still in line to join Al Golden's program.

The Hurricanes have two sophomores and two seniors on their roster. Sophomore Stephen Morris is the only other QB outside of Jacory Harris to throw a pass this year.

The interesting thing about Dewey is that his best football is still in front of him. He's still growing and maturing and in the long run he could be a very, very good quarterback. He has the frame to fill out and could still even add a few inches in height.

Miami will always be able to attract talented skill position players and should the signal caller figure it, out he'll have a chance to succeed in a big way at the next level.

Ford Childress, West Virginia, No. 142

The Mountaineers have one more year of Geno Smith under center and have two freshman already on the roster, but none are built like Childress.

The 6'4", 205-pounder from Texas has a lot of frame to grow into and has great potential.

He's not talked about as often as other quarterbacks, but his size, arm and, most importantly, release, have a lot of people excited.

Childress is one of the most natural passers in this entire class and is one of those rare kids who comes in with a motion and release that a coach not only doesn't want to, but doesn't have to change.

West Virginia does a good job of recruiting talented skill players and Childress could one day be the quarterback to get the ball.
