We typically see a big jump from sophomore to junior year with quarterbacks, as that’s often when everything starts to come together, both physically and mentally. Late last season, Stevenson started to flash some of his potential, and if he takes a big step forward this year, Ragsdale should move up in the pecking order of the conference.

Sion Stevenson Sion Stevenson 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB Ragsdale | 2028 NC returns as QB1 for Ragsdale after gaining valuable experience in his first season as the Tigers’ starting quarterback. Stevenson plays the position like a true point guard, distributing the ball efficiently and making smart decisions. With another offseason to master the offense and continue building chemistry with his receivers, expect the rising quarterback to take a significant leap and put up much bigger numbers this season.
