This season, the quarterback position has been one of high production, resulting in lots of check marks in the win column. Here are five signal-callers who are on pace for Player of the Year honors at the mid-way point of the 2025 campaign.
A college graduate throwing the old pigskin around the yard, Pavia leads a Vanderbilt offense ranked No. 4 in the FBS and has averaged 49 points per game. The No. 16 Commodores are 5-0 for the first time since 2008.
Pavia has passed for 1,211 yards, 13 touchdowns and only three INTs. He has completed 74.6 percent of his passes. In addition, he also has two rushing TDs to his credit. The Commodores have scored 50 or more points in each of their last two games.
Moore leads the No. 7 scoring offense in college football at 46 points per game. The Ducks signal-caller has thrown for 1,210 yards, 14 TDs and just one INT. He has completed 74.6 percent of his passes for the No. 2-ranked and undefeated Oregon.
The transfer from Cal has left scorched earth across the Midwest like an F-5 tornado. Under his command, the No. 8 and undefeated Hoosiers (5-0) fielded an offense that has averaged 47 points per contest.
That’s elite enough for a No. 6 ranking in scoring offense. Mendoza has passed for 1,208 yards, 16 TDs and one INT.
The Men of Troy are off to a 4-1 start, thanks to the elite play of Maiava. Maiava leads a Trojan offense that has averaged 48 points per game. That is good enough for the No. 5 scoring offense in college football.
Maiava has completed 70.5 percent of his passes for 1,587 yards, 11 touchdowns and only one INT. In addition, he has rushed for four scores.
Robertson leads the nation in passing yards (1,713), passing TDs (17) and passing yards per game (342.6 yards/game). The Baylor offense averages 36 points per contest, while Robertson has completed 63.6 percent of his passes.
Robertson is coming off a 45-27 win against Oklahoma State in which he threw for 393 yards, four touchdowns and zero INTs.
With six games left in the regular season, these talented quarterbacks will strive to put their teams in position for a playoff run. Who will come out on top? We shall see. The second half of the season will be must-watch football.
