Rutgers QB Ranked Bottom of Big Ten | Rutgers Scarlet News

The Athletic’s 2026 QB rankings have sparked buzz in the Big Ten, with Ohio State’s Julian Sayin and Oregon’s Dante Moore dominating Tier 1, while Rutgers’ projected starter Dylan Lonergan lands in the bottom-tier seventh spot—joining Iowa’s Hecklinski and Purdue’s Brown. Despite still competing with AJ Surace for the starting job, Lonergan’s placement reflects The Athletic’s best projection based on current info. It’s a tough call for teams with QB battles, but the ranking underscores Rutgers’ uphill climb—and offers a clear target to prove the experts wrong when the season begins.
