There are going to be a lot of new faces at quarterback in the Big Ten when the season officially kicks off for the conference on Thursday, Aug. 29. Only four teams return last year's starting quarterback — meaning we have 14 new players to learn about this fall.

Who's the best? Who's the worst? Pro Football Focus (PFF) analyst Dalton Wasserman went through the process of ranking all 18 quarterabcks in the Big Ten ahead of the 2024 season.

New Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel is listed as the top quarterback in the conference, and is listed as No. 2 in the country among Power Four players. Penn State returning gunslinger Drew Allar is listed as the second-best quarterback in the Big Ten.

A few other notable names include USC's Mller Moss (No.4), Ohio State's Will Howard (No. 5), Michigan State's Aidan Chiles (No. 11) and Nebraska's Dylan Raiola (No. 12).
