The 2025 season has just begun, yet numerous teams are already regretting the hype they generated for key players. Expectations are sky-high at premier programs, making it hard for those selected to deliver on the field. Many athletes may rebound, but currently, let’s review some notable quarterbacks who are falling short of their reputations.

Lagway has five interceptions against a formidable LSU defense, raising doubts about his development. He has thrown for 629 yards and five touchdowns but has struggled to read complex defenses.

Arch Manning, QB, Texas

Manning, with problems of his own, has seen less success than expected, completing only 55% of his passes with six interceptions in three games. He averages 121 rushing yards due to an inconsistent offensive line and a lack of support from his receiving corps.
