The Tropical Bowl rosters were officially announced on Saturday, and it was an impressive reveal. The game will feature outstanding prospects all over the field at Daytona Beach Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach, FL, on Sunday, Jan. 14. But, perhaps no position group offers a greater combination of talent and genuinely intriguing storylines than what can be found at quarterback.

Here’s a look at who we’ll find behind center.

Montell Cozart, Boise State

Cozart is a legend in his hometown of Kansas City, MO, where he starred for nearby Bishop Miege (KS) on both the football field and the hardwood. He was named the Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior and elected to stay home and play for the Kansas Jayhawks. 

Cozart appeared in 27 games for Kansas from 2013-16 and was named a captain for his redshirt junior season. All told, Cozart threw for 2,755 yards, ran for another 481 yards, and led KU to eight wins.

After graduating from Kansas in May, Cozart chose to transfer to Boise State for his final year of eligibility — and the Broncos were sure glad he did. Cozart rushed for 361 yards and four touchdowns and completed 63 percent of his throws for 754 yards, 10 touchdowns, and just one interception while sharing reps with junior Brett Rypien.

With Cozart and Rypien behind center, Boise State went 11-3, won the Mountain West Conference, and defeated Oregon in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Danny Etling, LSU

If you’re looking for efficiency and ball control, look no further than LSU’s Danny Etling.

In two seasons as the starter in Baton Rouge, LA, Etling completed roughly 60 percent of his throws for 4,586 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just seven picks. This season alone, Etling tossed 16 touchdowns while giving away just two interceptions in 13 games.

He was 17-8 as the starter for the Tigers.

The Terre Haute, Indiana, native arrived at LSU by way of Purdue, where he spent his freshman and sophomore seasons. In two years with the Boilermakers, Etling made 12 starts — including the final seven games of his freshman year. 

The former four-star prospect closed out his first season in West Lafayette, IN, by dropping a career-high 485 passing yards and four touchdowns on cross-state rival Indiana. In his final two games as a collegian, Etling combined for 576 yards and five touchdowns against Texas A&M and Notre Dame — so it’s safe to say that finishing strong isn’t a problem.

Brandon Harris, North Carolina

One of the most intriguing prospects at the Tropical Bowl has to be former LSU and North Carolina quarterback Brandon Harris.

Harris was a highly touted four-star prospect coming out of Parkway High School in Bossier City, LA — much the same way as TCU signee Justin Rogers is seen today. When Harris elected to stay in his home state and attend LSU, it was perceived as a massive victory for Les Miles and the Tigers — and a signal that the program’s quarterback struggles would soon be ending.

Harris played as a true freshman and started all 12 games for LSU during his sophomore year, completing 54 percent of his throws for 2,154 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six picks while rushing for 226 yards and four touchdowns. But, in 2016, Etling took over as the starter after two games and Harris never found his way back onto the field.

After transferring to North Carolina, Harris won the starting job during fall camp — but was quickly benched in favor of Chazz Surratt during the Tar Heels’ week one loss to Cal. Just a week later, Harris was impressive in relief of Surratt, throwing for 216 yards and a touchdown in the second half of a loss to Louisville. But, the next week, Surratt was back behind center, and Harris was never able to gain traction, finishing his final collegiate season 35 of 71 for 346 yards, one touchdown, and eight interceptions.

For Harris, the Tropical Bowl represents an opportunity to exhibit the skill set that generated lofty expectations at both LSU and North Carolina.

Richard Lagow, Indiana

Richard Lagow has been some places and seen some things.

The former Plano (Texas) quarterback signed with Connecticut out of high school but left the program after just a few weeks — before his first semester of classes began. From there, he headed for Oklahoma State, where he moved into a crowded quarterback room without a scholarship. The following summer, he left the Cowboys and enrolled at Cisco (Texas) Junior College.

Lagow threw for 4,506 and 38 touchdowns at Cisco, prompting then-Indiana head coach Kevin Wilson to offer him a scholarship. All Lagow did after that was throw for 5,298 yards and 34 touchdowns in 23 games as the Hoosiers quarterback.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Lagow in Bloomington, IN, though. After completing 40 of 65 passes for 410 yards, three touchdowns, and two picks in a near-upset of No. 2 Ohio State in the season opener, Lagow fell into a quarterback rotation with Peyton Ramsey — and was eventually benched outright.

But, Lagow took his job back during a loss to Wisconsin and threw for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns over his final 13 quarters as the starter at Indiana. He was named a team captain and a few weeks ago was awarded the team’s inaugural LEO (Love Each Other) Award.

It has been a long and winding road for Lagow between Plano and Daytona Beach, but his combination of size and arm talent will be unsurpassed on Sunday.

Daquan Neal, Elizabeth City State

A three-year starter at quarterback for Elizabeth City State, Neal will likely be looking to catch the eye of scouts at a skill position after leading the Vikings in rushing with 406 yards and six touchdowns on 134 carries in 2017. 

For his career, Neal totaled 1,147 rushing yards and 25 rushing touchdowns while completing 52 percent of his throws for 6,140 yards and 48 touchdowns against 32 interceptions.

At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Neal has excellent size to complement his abundant athleticism, making a position change all the more realistic.

Patrick O’Brien, Catawba College

Like Lagow, Patrick O’Brien has worn a few different jerseys during the past six years.

O’Brien began his career at Charlotte, where he appeared in three games as a redshirt sophomore but attempted just three passes and subsequently transferred to North Carolina-Pembroke.

At Pembroke, O’Brien completed 62 percent of his throws for 5,372 yards and 40 touchdowns against 30 interceptions in two seasons as the starter. In 2016, with O’Brien leading the way, the Braves won 10 games and upset No. 19 Valdosta State in the first round of the Division II playoffs.

After the season, O’Brien elected to transfer once more — this time to Catawba College — where he enjoyed the best statistical year of his career, completing 63 percent of his passes for 2,546 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just five interceptions.

Anu Solomon, Baylor

Once upon a time, Anu Solomon was widely considered to be the savior of Arizona football.

As a redshirt freshman, Solomon won the starting job in Tucson, and led Arizona to its third 10-win season in school history. He completed 58 percent of his throws for 3,793 yards, 28 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, and the Wildcats reached the Pac-12 Championship and the Fiesta Bowl.

A year later, it looked to be more of the same, as Solomon and Arizona sprinted out to a 3-0 start. But Solomon suffered a concussion against UCLA in week four, split time with Jerrard Randall for the next six weeks, and then sustained another concussion against Utah that ended his season.

In 2016, Solomon injured his knee during a week two practice, appeared in just four games the rest of the way, and was never the same player we saw during his rookie season at Arizona.

Eventually, the former Bishop Gorman (NV) standout made his way to Baylor in what appeared to be an excellent match. But in his second start for the Bears, Solomon suffered another concussion in a week two loss to UTSA. Lingering symptoms ultimately forced his withdrawal from Baylor.

Solomon’s talent is immense. Health concerns and questions about whether or not he can get back to his peak form will persist. But if you’re looking for a dark horse with massive upside, Anu Solomon fits the bill.

JuJuan Young-Battle, Fairmont State

The Orlando, FL, native and former Jones High School standout will wrap up his college career in his own backyard at the Tropical Bowl.

Young-Battle started his path at the junior college level, spending his first two seasons at Globe Tech and Ellsworth Community College, respectively. He became an All-American junior college recruit after piling up 3,118 passing yards, 507 rushing yards, and 31 total touchdowns. 

At Alabama State, Young-Battle struggled to find playing time, but as a senior at Fairmont State, he showed flashes of the athleticism and versatility that scouts crave, throwing for 1,553 yards and 11 touchdowns while rushing for 62 yards and two scores in just seven games.
