With recruiting heating up, we're taking a look at The Great State Debate this week.
Big 12 fans — and plenty of others — are surely familiar with Texas quarterbacks. At some point, they've probably been a fan of a few. Program greats like Chase Daniel and Todd Reesing even hail from Texas and achieved greatness outside the state.
This year, the top four quarterbacks in the NFL draft were all from Texas: Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Nick Foles and Ryan Tannehill.
But looking at the big picture, whose quarterbacks are best? That's what we set out to tackle this recruiting season.
Alabama, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania are all in the discussion, and we looked at quarterbacks currently playing in high school, currently in college, Heisman winners, players currently in the pros and quarterbacks in the Hall of Fame.
Here's the link to see what we found.
You can see a breakdown of the quarterbacks on each level from each state, and the argument for why each should win.
Florida, Georgia and Louisiana just missed the cut.
Finally, you can vote in our poll, too.
