Spring Football Practice Buzz
Spring football practice is underway at Oregon, Nebraska, Texas, and Ohio State [https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-football-spring-2026-burning-questions-alabama/]. Nebraska is leaning toward Anthony Colandrea at QB [https://www.totalprosports.com/ncaa/nebraska-spring-practice-matt-rhule-starting-qb-choice-isnt-tj-lateef/].
At Oregon, all eyes are on Dillon Gabriel, the transfer QB expected to lead the Ducks' offense. Gabriel's experience and arm talent should provide a significant boost as Oregon aims for a playoff berth in 2026. In Texas, Quinn Ewers' development is the key storyline. After a promising but inconsistent 2025 season, Ewers needs to take the next step to elevate the Longhorns into a national title contender. Ohio State's quarterback battle between Will Howard and Air Noland will be closely watched. The Buckeyes are looking for stability and playmaking ability under center after inconsistent QB play in recent years.
