Blake Brockermeyer of CBS Sports recently ranked the Top 10 Quarterback Rooms for the 2026 College Football Season and slotted LSU's group at No. 6 on the list.

6. LSU Tigers
Lane Kiffin has had a strong reputation for developing quarterbacks throughout most of his coaching career, and this season should be no different.

Sam Leavitt is coming off an injury and somewhat of a down season in 2025, but his 2024 tape was excellent. His athletic ability as a runner is elite, and I expect a major rebound season from him if he is healthy.

Kiffin also got Husan Longstreet to hit the portal, giving LSU a strong Plan B if Leavitt is not fully healthy. Longstreet, a former five-star prospect from USC, got 44 reps last season and was able to get his feet wet. He is also a legitimate long-term solution for the Tigers as a dual-threat quarterback.
Here are the top 10 quarterback rooms in college football, according to Brockermeyer:
1. Oregon
2. Texas
3. Utah
4. Ole Miss
5. Ohio State
6. LSU
7. USC
8. Miami
9. Houston
10. Notre Dame

QB room? Shouldn’t that include all QB’s? Ole Miss? Utah?
Nah

Honestly, I can't imagine LSU doesn't have a top 3 QB room, even without considering who their coaches are going to be. #Listsucks

Didn’t you say in the preseason last year we would have an elite O line?

Who are the 2nd and 3rd team QB's behind Flonase Chambliss that give Ole Miss a highly ranked QB "Room" like that?

I think Longstreet is legit. By the end of spring he was doing pretty dang good.

Longstreet, actually it was the darn 3rd string Landon Clark or the “supposed” 3rd string throwing dimes this offseason and was the betting favorite backup by many watching those guys throw the ball live. I believe there was some catching up by Longstreet towards the end of spring but they both looked darn good by all reports by the end of spring. Like if we had to go to either, we are good with any of the 3 QBs and there aren’t many if any other colleges who can actually say that or come close to it so this just shows me that this report doesn’t know much about LSU QBs room and simply knows names. End of story.

USC quarterback room. I'm not sure who their starter is, all I know is that Zachariah Branch transferred to UGA because he grew tired sharing the weight room with the women's volleyball team and the men's water polo team. One year, drafted by the Falcons.

We’ll see. LSU coming off a 6 loss season, new coach who hasn’t won a championship of any kind on any level, 40 something new players, a qb who didn’t take a single snap in spring, hasn’t taken an SEC snap ever being backed up by guys you’ve honestly never heard of either but somehow this team is championship ready.

If you're a LSU fan, you absolutely want this. You want the media to underestimate every position group they possible can. It lowers expectations while it increases motivation.

We lsu fans have the most confident unrealistic fanbase in all the land.

As a Georgia fan, the ranking of the QB room is greatly dependent on the ranking of the WR room. Georgia probably has a top 5 TE room, which will dictate the type of offense they run.

Texas paid for the best WR in my opinion, getting Coleman from Auburn.

Miami, Utah, Houston don't play defenses of SEC caliber and can show off.

LSU has the highest potential TE in the country in Green. They didn't exactly get scrubs at WR in the portal either. Clearly that's not the criteria used here. Unless you're saying this list is meaningless without TE/WRs in which yes, that's true.

Lsu easily has top 3 room, easily.

God, I hate the use of "rooms." So hip and trendy.

This list is obviously weighted heavily toward QB1 on each team, as it should be. With as little information as we have available about Levittown, I am surprised we are as high as we are.

OK. Maybe Ole Miss. Heck, I’m not sold on USC or anyone after St. Clair at OSU
user avatar
Definitely not Utan

There is also the ranking of the offensive line.

Arch Manning is a pocket passer. Fast SEC linebackers will eat his lunch. *cough*.

Trinidad Chambliss had a worse offensive line, he was not tall enough, not big enough, but damn he could scramble enough to give his receivers time to get open. I enjoyed watching him. I'm not familiar with the other QB's in their room.
