There is no doubt we will see multiple members of the Class of 2016 starting at quarterback around the Southeastern Conference next season.

The question is this — which programs will trot out true freshmen or first-year junior college transfers at the most important position on the field next season? Here is a look at five battles that will take place that could end up in that happening.

1. Jacob Eason vs. Greyson Lambert/Brice Ramsey (GEORGIA)

Eason, the top-ranked pro-style quarterback in the 2016 class, has the tools to step in and win the job. The Lake Stevens, Wash., product has enrolled at Georgia and will compete for the job this spring. He’s not at a scheme-learning disadvantage with the other two, either, as all will be learning new UGA offensive coordinator Jim Chaney’s playbook.

2. John Franklin vs. Jeremy Johnson/Sean White (AUBURN)

Franklin, formerly of Florida State, arrives to compete for the Tigers’ starting job. Auburn’s quarterbacks were underwhelming this past season and were the difference in having an SEC title-contending team and being 7-6 and winning the Birmingham Bowl. Johnson still has the tools, he just has to carry it over and Auburn likes White as well. It’s hard to ignore, however, that the two best seasons Auburn has had since 2010 (2010 and 2013) both featured first-year junior college transfers as the starting quarterback (Cam Newton and Nick Marshall). Can lightning strike thrice?

3. Feleipe Franks vs. Treon Harris (FLORIDA)

The 6-foot-5 Franks has excellent arm talent and size and certainly fits the mold of a trigger man in Jim McElwain’s offense better than Harris. But Harris has multiple games of starting SEC experience under his belt, plus a year’s advantage in knowing the offensive scheme. It would be a surprise if Franks won the job this spring, but not a surprise if he took over eventually during the 2016 season.

4. Brandon McIlwain vs. Perry Orth/Lorenzo Nunez (SOUTH CAROLINA)

Injuries to preseason (and first two games) starter Connor Mitch and Nunez forced Orth into action last year and the former walk-on performed admirably. McIlwain arrives with a maturity about him — the type that quarterbacks who are able to start as true freshmen have, and Nunez is athletically-gifted. Like Eason, McIlwain isn’t at a learning curve disadvantage with the rest of the Gamecocks quarterbacks as all will be learning the new offense this spring.

5. Stephen Johnson II vs. Drew Barker (KENTUCKY)

This may be a bit of an outlier, but there is a reason the Wildcats signed Johnson — and that is to step in and compete for the job. The great thing here is that he will at the very least push Barker. Both will be learning the new UK offensive scheme as Eddie Gran arrives from Cincinnati as the third Wildcats offensive coordinator in as many years. Make no mistake, Johnson has the talent to at least push Barker this spring and could end up with the job. The California native, who arrives via the College of the Desert, has that type of high-end skill set.
