Week 5 of College Football is in the books, and we are starting to get a clearer picture of what this quarterback class is shaping up to look like.

Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza is exactly the quarterback I thought that he would be, entering the season as my QB1. Oregon’s Dante Moore has become the player that everyone anticipated him to be out of high school. Alabama’s Ty Simpson is climbing up the ladder, and South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers continues to grow into an extremely tantalizing quarterback.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, two upperclassmen whom I came into the season lower on, Penn State’s Drew Allar and LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, look like the same quarterbacks they were a year ago. Especially Allar, who continues to wilt under the brightest lights.

So how did these quarterbacks chart out in Week 5? Let’s take a look at their profiles from this past weekend and how I thought they played overall.

Other quarterbacks not included here that will be added to the database for paid subscribers: Cincinnati’s Brendan Sorsby, TCU’s Josh Hoover, Illinois’ Luke Altmyer
