College Football Recruiting 2102: Where Are the Top 10 Quarterbacks Headed?

Here's a third look at our top QB rankings, and now we're just going to update them and tell you where the QBs are headed this year. Whether you agree with some of the rankings, it should make a good debate.

We've got the classic rocket-armed and drop-back passers, along with the athletic dual-threat types, plus every type of QB in between. This should be a fun read for all.

Here are where the top 10 QBs are headed for 2012.

10. Greyson Lambert

Lambert can easily see over the rush, keeps his eyes downfield and dictates his own natural throwing lanes with his release—all thanks to him being a tall and long 6'5".

Lambert shows good arm strength and accuracy to all levels of the field. His prep team has not thrown the ball much, but this spring he moved to more of a spread offense to fully take advantage of Lambert's skill set. Big numbers are expected.

Headed to Virginia.

9. Tanner Mangum

There some QBs you study on film and you just notice the game comes simply and easily to them. That's a trait Matt Leinart showed, according to Norm Chow at USC. Mangum shows me that on a 6'2", 185-pound frame.

I see how he makes solid decisions, lets his skill players do their thing by delivering the football in position for them to make plays, and has pretty good accuracy. His arm strength is good enough to be a threat to all defensive levels.

He'll be fine at BYU. 

8. Bart Houston

Houston is asked to take care of the football and manage the offense for De La Salle, but people know the 6'4", 200 pounder is more talented than he lets on right now.

It comes out when he is called upon to make a play, as Houston shows off a skill set of a future top-notch starting college QB. He's poised in the pocket, leads his huddle, has a strong arm and a very quick release.

He's headed to Wisconsin.

7. Maty Mauk

6'2", 190-pound Mauk understands the components and intentions of the spread offense. 

He's not overly big, but Mauk has a solid arm, touch, is very accurate, makes great pre- and post-snap reads and anticipates windows extremely well.

He's going to Missouri.

6. Matt Davis

Davis is so athletic that there are whispers emerging that he may actually play WR in college. His speed is that good and he is that dynamic with the football in his hands.

But the 6'1", 200 pounder will look to stay at QB and skill defenses with a strong arm, quick feet, instincts, playmaking ability and speed. 

He's committed to Texas A&M.

5. Zach Kline

6'2", 200 pounds, Kline went to the Elite 11 camp and displayed perhaps the strongest arm in the camp, bar none. He really whipped it around all week long.

Kline can make throws on the run and buy time with his legs. From center, Kline, shows very good mechanics in his climbs from the snap and sets up well. He delivers the football with good timing.

Kline is committed to Cal.

4. Connor Brewer

This is a QB just wins and gets the job done. 6'3", 190 pounds, Brewer has a solid arm, good accuracy and excellent intangibles.

There are whispers that he has that special trait that is indescribable, but obvious. 

Brewer also has great athleticism and can get out and run. He becomes a physical player when toting the rock and is tough to bring down solo by a defender.

Texas has him locked up.

3. Zeke Pike

Pike shows great touch, accuracy and solid anticipation. 

He's a big, tall and powerful 6'6", 225-pound monster QB with a cannon for an arm and great athleticism in the pocket. He can really rifle the football around with ease, and no area of the defense is safe from his aerial assault.

Auburn got Pike's pledge this spring.

2. Gunner Kiel

The 6'4", 215-pound Kiel has the make of a classic pocket-passing QB and could be the type of player you build your program around.

His arm strength is above average. Combine that with pinpoint accuracy, excellent field vision, decision making, pocket presence, touch, timing, anticipation, mechanics and above-average athletic ability.

Notre Dame, LSU, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and USC have been linked to Kiel lately.

1. Jameis Winston

Winston is a phenomenal talent at  6'4", 190 pounds.You can easily see on film that he has a cannon for an arm, awareness and just great all-around playmaking ability.

Winston is not just a dual-threat type because he can run. He actually can sit in the pocket and pick you apart. It's just that when he chooses to run, he's that good at it.

He's committed to Florida State over Alabama and LSU.
