The Seattle Seahawks have already made some headline-grabbing changes to their QB room this offseason, but could another be coming in the 2024 NFL Draft? Seattle's latest Top 30 visit might provide an early indication.

Seattle is set to meet with South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Seahawks traded for Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell last month but could add more depth behind Geno Smith.

Rapoport calls Rattler "one of the more intriguing" quarterbacks in the 2024 class, and that's hard to argue with despite this year's draft featuring some top-heavy talent at the position. The rest of the league appears to agree, as Rattler has reportedly met with more than 12 teams.

"South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler, one of the more intriguing QB prospects in the draft, is in Seattle today for a Seahawks Top 30 visit, source said," Rapoport tweeted. "He was with the Texans yesterday. Rattler has visited with over a dozen teams, thus far, as teams continue to gather info."

On PFF's big board, Rattler is the No. 7 quarterback and No. 70 overall despite a rocky start to his collegiate career. He began at Oklahoma in 2019 as a five-star prospect, but was unseated as the starter in 2021 by none other than consensus No. 1 pick Caleb Williams.

Rattler transferred and found home at South Carolina, where he posted back-to-back 3,000-yard seasons.

The 2024 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 25 in Detroit.
