Eleven Big Ten teams have settled on their starting quarterbacks. The other seven, including defending national champion Ohio State, will carry competitions into preseason practice.
Illinois' Luke Altmyer, Michigan State's Aidan Chiles, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola, Penn State's Drew Allar, Rutgers' Athan Kaliakmanis, Southern California's Jayden Maiava and Washington's Demond Williams Jr. are returning starters.
Indiana, Iowa, UCLA and Wisconsin brought in transfers who will go into the fall as No. 1s — the Hoosiers' Fernando Mendoza (California), the Hawkeyes' Mark Gronowski (South Dakota State), the Bruins' Nico Iamaleava (Tennessee) and the Badgers' Billy Edwards Jr. (Maryland).
Julian Sayin appears to have an edge over Lincoln Kienholz at Ohio State, where coach Ryan Day is waiting until August to name his starter.
