Week 3 is wrapped — time to hand out QB grades and fresh rankings. Goalposts paid the price, receivers ate, and three passers already cleared 1,000 yards.
A few lit it up with double-digit scores, one toppled Clemson, and plenty of plays either trended or tanked. Here’s the red ink.
PFSN College’s QB Impact assigns a letter grade to a quarterback’s performance. We arrive at the grade by considering both a QB’s passing and rushing performance. Certain more stable factors, such as clean pocket performance and designed rushing success, are more heavily weighted than less stable ones, like pressure performance and scrambling. We also add a “clutch” component that gives extra weight to how quarterbacks perform in high-leverage situations.
25) Sawyer Robertson, Baylor
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 65.6 (D)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 85.1 (B)
Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson is one of those 1,000-yard guys we mentioned – 1,070 to be exact, just two shy of Syracuse QB Steve Angeli, who leads the nation with 1,072 through three games. Robertson threw two interceptions in the Bears’ win over Samford, lowering his grade this week, but overall, he is trending up.
24) Behren Morton, Texas Tech
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 83 (B)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 85.2 (B)
The Red Raiders quarterback has had to battle bad weather, Beavers, and Bluffs to get here, but in true Texas Tech fashion, Behren Morton has been guns up. Consistently high scores and few miscues keep Morton at a solid B so far for the season. He will need to turn up the heat in Salt Lake City next week.
23) Bryce Underwood, Michigan
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 87.7 (B+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 85.6 (B)
Through Week 3, Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood has shown he plays bigger than a freshman. In fact, he’s starting to look dangerous. After a rough outing vs. Oklahoma, Underwood bounced back vs. Central Michigan by going 16-for-25 for 235 yards and a passing TD, plus rushing for 114 yards and two more scores.
When he runs, he’s effective, when he throws, he’s threatening, and his game management is excellent.
22) Conner Weigman, Houston
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 80 (B-)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 85.6 (B)
Houston quarterback Conner Weigman had a breakout night vs. Colorado last week, delivering career highs in both passing and rushing. Weigman isn’t just a surprisingly mobile QB; he also has good instincts — he’s thrown four touchdowns so far without an interception through three games. That 54-yard bomb to Stephon Johnson to set up one of his touchdown runs was a chef’s kiss.
21) Blake Baker, Louisiana Tech
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 77 (C+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 86.2 (B)
Louisiana Tech’s season hasn’t been overly impressive so far, with wins over Southeast Louisiana and New Mexico State and a 23-7 loss to top-ranked LSU, but redshirt sophomore quarterback Blake Baker, who saw his first action this season against the Tigers, had an impressive showing last week.
His 8-for-16 for 182 yards and a touchdown didn’t exactly light up the radar, but showcased efficient play through the air, and his 15 carries for another score showed he can make plays.
20) Carson Beck, Miami (FL)
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 84.4 (B)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 86.3 (B)
Carson Beck is looking like the quarterback Miami needed (if not the one they deserve) after some slight doubts earlier this year. There was no way he was letting USF continue their ranked victory tour – the last team that started a season with three consecutive wins over AP-ranked opponents was, in fact, Miami in 1987, and the U wasn’t relinquishing that title.
Carson Beck is a great QB, actually. pic.twitter.com/e5xpgz0e8I
— NFL Draft Files (@NFL_DF) September 17, 2025
In Miami’s 49-12 win over the Bulls, Beck completed 23 of 28 passes for 340 yards, three touchdowns, and added a rushing touchdown. His two interceptions were concerning, but overall, Beck is on the rise.
19) Blake Horvath, Navy
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 84.6 (B)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 87 (B)
Navy’s game against Tulsa last week did not get off to a good start. The Midshipmen turned the ball over three consecutive times in the first quarter (two interceptions and a fumble), despite entering the contest without a turnover. But Horvath’s resilience kicked in, and he finished 6-for-10 passing for 94 yards and a touchdown while also rushing 21 times for 159 yards and another touchdown.
He has good instincts under pressure and shows excellent mental toughness, but limiting turnovers and showing greater consistency in the aerial attack will help him grade higher.
18) Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 84.6 (B)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 87.4 (B+)
Vanderbilt’s quarterback Diego Pavia continues to look like the kind of QB who delivers more than expected – he’s composed, reasonably accurate, and willing to mix it up, not just handing off but really managing the offense with a balance of risk and reward. If he builds on red-zone awareness and pushes more big-play passing, he could surprise more than just South Carolina.
17) CJ Bailey, North Carolina State
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 79.6 (C+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 87.4 (B+)
CJ Bailey has looked like a sophomore with something to prove — accurate, calm, and ready to take over games. He’s thrown five touchdowns so far this season against only one interception, and he’s keeping his completion rate up around 70 percent. When things get messy (like Wake Forest jumping out early), he’s shown poise, leading NC State back with multiple scoring drives rather than panicking.
The only real glitch? He hasn’t needed to carry the offense on his back yet — group effort (good tools, good playmakers) has paired well with his steady hand.
16) Dewayne Coleman, Army
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: N/A
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 87.6 (B+)
Dewayne Coleman has had a rough go of it so far – the senior Army quarterback was banged up in the Black Knights’ Week 1 matchup with Tarleton State, leaving the game twice. Cale Hellums got the start in Week 2 against Kansas State and led the team to a thrilling victory. Hellums will start again against North Texas in Week 4 after a bye last week. Coleman is expected to work out this week and be prepped to fill in.
15) Dylan Raiola, Nebraska
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 79.7 (C+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 87.7 (B+)
Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola is one of just 11 quarterbacks who have yet to throw an interception this season, and out of those, he is the fourth to throw for over 820 yards. His completion rate is impressive (75%), he shows really nice command, especially for a sophomore, and his timing and anticipation make throws look easy. The next few games will be a test, especially this week against Michigan.
14) Josh Hoover, TCU
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 87.8 (B+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 91.8 (A-)
Josh Hoover lit up Abilene Christian by throwing for 337 yards and four touchdowns, while keeping the ball safe — 21 of 27 passing, zero picks. He was clutch on third down (9/10) and basically ran the offense like a well-oiled machine, helping TCU score on all six of its full possessions. With receivers stepping up (shout out Joseph Manjack IV and freshman Ed Small), Hoover spread the ball well — big plays, multiple targets, no tunnel vision.
13) Dante Moore, Oregon
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 82.4 (B-)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 87.8 (B+)
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is fun to watch – he gets the ball out quickly and cleanly, doesn’t hold on to pressure, and makes defenses, like Northwestern’s, pay when they dare to drop back off receivers. We haven’t seen him truly tested yet by a formidable defense, but his consistency and ability to find the endzone have been impressive. He has thrown for 657 yards and seven touchdowns.
12) Anthony Colandrea, UNLV
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: N/A
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 88.2 (B+)
Anthony Colandrea has started strong in the UNLV uniform — through three games, he’s completing roughly 75.4% of his passes, piling up 647 yards and six touchdowns to just one pick. He’s also shown off his legs — about 175 rushing yards and another score on the ground — which helps when pocket pressure comes calling.
In his Week 2 shine, he dropped 203 passing yards, three air TDs, and added 59 rush yards in the win over UCLA — efficient, clutch, and charismatic. If there’s a caveat, it’s that he’s yet to be tested by a defense that sinks teeth deep and forces him off script — so far the script’s looking good.
11) Devon Dampier, Utah
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 79.3 (C+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 88.4 (B+)
Utah quarterback Devon Dampier’s still impressing — he went 27-of-41 for 230 passing yards, two touchdowns, with zero interceptions, and added 86 rushing yards on 13 carries in Utah’s 31-6 win over Wyoming. After a sluggish first half full of penalties, missed field goals, and fumbles, he helped ignite every second-half possession into a scoring drive.
He’s doing more than just moving the chains — he’s kept Utah explosive on the ground and steady through the air, showing off both decision-making and mobility.
10) Trinidad Chambliss, Mississippi
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 87.4 (B+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 89.1 (B+)
When backup quarterback Trinidad Chambless stepped in this past week after starting QB Austin Simmons was injured in the Kentucky game, he surprised everyone. The senior QB went 21-of-29 passing for 353 yards and one passing touchdown, plus 62 rushing yards and two short rushing scores (1- and 2-yarders) vs. Arkansas.
He showed poise, especially in high-leverage moments — keeping the ball safe, finding De’Zhaun Stribling in the end zone, and only getting sacked once. For a first crack in SEC live fire, he held his own. The only warning flag: defenses will need to push him off script to see how much he can adjust mid-drive.
9) Katin Houser, East Carolina
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 81.6 (B-)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 89.7 (B+)
Katin Houser put up 293 passing yards and two touchdowns in East Carolina’s 38-0 shutout of Coastal Carolina — efficient, sharp, and with just one interception. He spread the ball nicely, finding Anthony Smith for 11 catches and 136 yards, and helped ECU build a lead that snowballed late with strong fourth-quarter drives.
The defense helped (a lot), which let Houser manage the game rather than carry it on his back — no need for hero ball when your defense is tossing out zeros. As of now, he looks like a QB who’s shaking off any rust, keeping mistakes low, and showing why he’s comfortably in the conversation among elite signal-callers.
8) Dylan Lonergan, Boston College
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 73.9 (C)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 90.4 (A-)
Boston College quarterback Dylan Lonergan is hitting his stride fast. He’s completing around 73.2 percent of his passes, racking up roughly 991 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and just one interception in the first three games. He’s shown big-play ability (multiple completions of 20+ yards, mainly vs Stanford) and has spread the ball well among receivers.
But he’s also had moments where BC’s offense stalled — second halves haven’t always lived up to the energy from the first.
7) John Mateer, Oklahoma
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 78.5 (C+)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 91 (A-)
John Mateer’s blend of arm talent, mobility, and guts is giving Oklahoma a more dynamic offense than they had a year ago. He’s showing poise in pressure spots: making big passes downfield (34, 31, 21 yards on early drives), running designed plays, and staying relatively composed despite an inconsistent offensive line. If he corrects his mistakes, he could become a really dangerous QB in big games.
6) Tommy Castellanos, Florida State
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: N/A
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 92.7 (A-)
Tommy Castellanos has been a revelation for Florida State. In the season opener against Alabama, he led a punishing rushing attack with 78 yards and a touchdown, helping the Seminoles stun the Crimson Tide 31–17.
Then, in Week 2, he threw for 237 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Duce Robinson, in a 77–3 rout of East Texas A&M. With a 68 percent completion rate and zero interceptions, Castellanos has been efficient and explosive, guiding Florida State to a 2–0 start. His dual-threat ability adds a dynamic element to the offense, making him a quarterback to watch as the season progresses.
5) Chandler Morris, Virginia
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 70.4 (C-)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 93.2 (A)
Morris has been efficient and poised in Virginia’s opening games – he is quietly making Virginia’s offense look like it’s been in perfect harmony all season, even if the headlines haven’t caught up yet. Early bumps — a shoulder scare, a tight loss to NC State — were more like plot twists than derailments.
By Week 3, he’s guiding drives with the calm swagger of a kid who just realized he’s running the show, turning tentative first halves into highlight-worthy second halves.
4) Jayden Maiava, USC
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 85.5 (B)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 94.4 (A)
Jayden Maiava is quickly becoming USC’s quarterback of the future. In the season opener against Missouri State, he threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, leading the Trojans to a 73–13 victory. He followed that up with 412 yards and four touchdowns against Georgia Southern and a 282-yard performance in a 33–17 win over Purdue.
Despite a three-hour weather delay, Maiava maintained his composure and led the offense efficiently. His ability to perform under pressure and make plays both in the air and on the ground has been impressive.
3) Taylen Green, Arkansas
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 86.9 (B)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 94.7 (A)
Taylen Green is quickly becoming your quarterback’s favorite quarterback, setting records and making history in the first three weeks of the season. Week 3 saw a tough loss to Mississippi, but Green still threw for 305 yards and a touchdown while adding 111 rushing yards and another touchdown in a 41–35 loss. Green’s dual-threat ability and poise under pressure have been evident.
With zero interceptions this season, he’s showing great maturity and decision-making.
2) Joey Aguilar, Tennessee
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: 76.6 (C)
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 96.5 (A)
In the biggest game of the weekend, Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar threw for 371 yards and four touchdowns and ran for a TD, helping the Vols come from behind twice in the second half against conference foe Georgia. He helped Tennessee become just the third team to score on its first three drives against the Bulldogs since Kirby Smart took over in 2016. And he was the first SEC quarterback to go 14 for 14 in 20 seasons.
With a 247-yard and three-touchdown performance against Syracuse in the season-opener and a 288-yard, two-touchdown outing in a 72–17 win over East Tennessee State, Aguilar continues to impress with his poise and playmaking ability.
1) Demond Williams Jr., Washington
- Week 3 PFSN College QBi Grade: N/A
- PFSN College QBi Season Grade: 99.7 (A+)
King of the hill, Washington’s Demond Williams Jr., didn’t see action in Week 3 as the Huskies had a bye. But his Week 1 and Week 2 performances did not disappoint, despite UW being a run-the-damn-ball team (shout out Jonah Coleman). Williams has 480 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions through two games, and a 69.4 completion percentage.
He is averaging over 60 yards rushing a game and even had an 8-yard rushing touchdown in Washington’s 70-10 routing of UC Davis. He plays good, clean football.
