Baylor - QB Bryce Petty
Petty enjoyed a wonderful season last year capped off with winning the Big 12 championship title. He's staying put and will easily become Baylor's starting quarterback this season.

Iowa State had a pretty disappointing season last year due to poor offensive play-calling. Quarterback Grant Rohach should be a part of a new offensive system with a brand new offensive coordinator in Mark Mangino. If anyone can handle the transition it's Rohach.
Kansas will have an interesting quarterback competition this spring. Due to inconsistency last year with quarterback Jake Heaps, Montell Cozart was given an opportunity to get some starting time. Both will duke it out this spring along with T.J. Millweard, Michael Cummins and Jordan Darling. Look for Heaps to emerge as a starter since during the offseason he has worked on his weaknesses to continue his development as a pure pocket passer.
When it comes to Kansas State, quarterback Daniel Sams will definitely be named the starter for this upcoming season. Last year, he led all Big 12 quarterbacks with 807 rushing yards and 15 total touchdowns. There is some speculation he might change positions to wide receiver due to Jake Waters also being a solid quarterback, but that's unlikely to happen.
Despite injury to Oklahoma's quarterback Trevor Knight last year, he should be good to go for this upcoming season. He should pick up exactly where he left off as starting quarterback.
Oklahoma State sure does have a history of going into spring practice with the same question year in, year out. Who will be their starting quarterback this season? Quarterback J.W. Walsh will be competing with Mason Rudolph and Daxx Garman for the starting position. Walsh should win this competition by a hair as this offseason he was working on his accuracy and arm strength. He also has the most experience out of everyone competing.
Likely the most significant position battle this spring, TSU has two new offensive coordinators in Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie. This quarterback competition will feature Trevone Boykin, Zach Allen and Tyler Matthews. It's expected Boykin will be transitioned to a wide receiver, so look for Matthews to have a strong showcase and win the starting spot.
Despite injury last season, quarterback David Ash is still the best option for Texas. He has the most experience and gives them the best chance for victories.
Texas Tech has already put their seal of approval on quarterback Davis Webb being their starter. If any walk-ons happen it'll probably be this summer, but for now Webb is good to go as long as he stays healthy.
West Virginia will probably have the most competitive quarterback competition this spring practice. Quarterback Clint Trickett unfortunately won't be able to participate until summer practice due to injury. When he returns, however, he will have some strong battles with quarterback Skyler Howard who shows a ton of potential. Once Trickett is cleared to resume football activities, though, expect him to be the starter since he fits the mold to the kind of offensive attack West Virginia is known for. Howard is good but not at the level Trickett can execute.
