Top 10 college football QBs returning for 2025 season
9. Josh Hoover, TCU
TCU flew under the radar in 2024 but closed the year with wins in six of its final seven games while going 9-4 overall. That was a big improvement from a five-win season the year prior and it coincided with a breakout campaign from Hoover. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound sophomore threw for 3,969 yards in 2024, the sixth-most in the country. Hoover posted six games with 300 yards passing or more and was held below 250 passing yards just once all season. Hoover鈥檚 27 passing touchdowns also ranked in the top 20 nationally, as did his 66.5% completion rate. TCU will lose some valuable pass-game weapons headlined by 1,000-yard receiver Jack Bech, but Hoover still has 4,000-yard passing potential in 2025 and could put the Horned Frogs in the mix for a Big 12 title.
