College Football's Top 20 Quarterbacks on the Rise for 2016

Posted Feb 16, 2016
Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina: UNC’s offense won’t miss a beat in 2016 with a new quarterback under center. Trubisky has waited his turn behind Marquise Williams but has played in 19 games over the last two seasons and completed 82 of 125 passes for 1,014 yards in that span. The Ohio native should emerge as one of the ACC’s top quarterbacks. (Athlon Sports)
