PFF's QB cluster of the Power 4 starters has Cade Klubnik in the top tier.

He is at the top, followed by Louisville's Miller Moss, Miami's Carson Beck, SMU's Kevin Jennings, Arizona's Noah Fifita, Arizona State's Sam Leavitt, Iowa State's Rocco Becht, Illinois' Luke Altmyer, Penn State's Drew Aller, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, Miss. State's Blake Shapen and Tennessee's Nico Iamaleava. The tier is titled, 'Who will be CFB's next star?"

The next tier has a Clemson foe in Duke's Darian Mensah, a group tabbed with "smaller sample, but flashes of brilliance.

The third tier includes Georgia Tech's Haynes King and UNC's Gio Lopez. The next one has South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers.

Here's how they explain the formula: "The clustering algorithm draws from PFF’s comprehensive grading and charting data dating back to the 2022 season. Key inputs include each quarterback’s PFF passing and rushing grades, as well as their percentage of charted accurate throws — a measure that accounts for passes delivered in stride, within the receiver’s frame or placed away from coverage. We’ve also factored in PFF Wins Above Average (WAA), which offers a balanced view of both volume and overall value contributed to a program."
