CJ Carr Surges to Top 5 in ESPN QBR Rankings | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

CJ Carr, Notre Dame’s dynamic QB, soared to No. 5 on ESPN’s Top 10 Returning College QBs list with an 82.7 QBR — a stat that reflects his clutch play, 24 TDs, and just 6 INTs last season. But here’s the twist: he was once ranked No. 1 in all Power Four football by ESPN analysts — even as his running backs moved on. With USC’s Jayden Maiava claiming the top spot and others like Julian Sayin and Trinidad Chambliss also making the cut, this list is packed with elite talent — some of whom have already switched schools. As the college QB landscape keeps evolving, one thing’s clear: Carr’s time to shine is now — and we’re watching closely for what’s next.
