Where the top QBs in Minnesota are heading for college

Minnesota is deep at quarterback this year. Maybe not with Power Four recruits, but there is a good crop who have the ability to play on the next level from the Gophers to NAIA and Division III. Here are some of the candidates.

CADEN GUTZMER – Minnetonka | North Dakota
Mobile 6’2 prospect who makes a variety of throws and is comfortable throwing on the move but can also keep the ball on an RPO and hurt defenses with his feet. One of the crown jewels of the UND class.

6’4, 215 pounds and got off to a great start last season before suffering an injury. Should have a big junior year. Only three games as a starter, but big and talented.
