While plenty of recruiting sites exist, this list of the best 2023 quarterback recruits is an average of the rankings on 247Sports and On3. I use them often and pay annual subscriptions to both - a reminder to support the content you like in 2022. The other major recruiting sites Rivals and ESPN separate their quarterback rankings into two categories with pro-style and dual-threat, while 247Sports and On3 rank all the quarterbacks together as one position.

Best Available QBs: Transfers | 2022 Recruits | 2023 Recruits | 2024 Recruits
Every player is listed as a quarterback, rated at least 3 stars and has a positional ranking on both sites. Because it’s hard enough to focus on 130 teams, quarterbacks who commit to non-FBS teams are left off this list, and so are prospects not intending to play college football.
- Listed as a QB by 247 and On3
- Rated 3-5 stars by 247 and On3
- Assigned a positional ranking by 247 and On3
- Not committed to a non-FBS school
- Planning to play college football
With this criteria, here’s a look at the best quarterback recruits for for 2023, starting with QBs who are still uncommitted.
