Teams in search of premiere quarterbacks may just want to look over Tennessee for the foreseeable future.

Since 2009, the Volunteer State has struggled to produce elite players at the position and most of the prospects who have signed wind up transferring elsewhere after a season or two.

Over that stretch, Bo Wallace was the state’s most impressive as a collegian despite coming out of Pulaski, Tenn. as a two-star in 2010. He signed with Arkansas State and went the JUCO route before landing in a perfect system that fit his skill set under Hugh Freeze.

In three seasons as the Rebels’ starting quarterback, Wallace threw for nearly 10,000 yards and managed 62 touchdown passes to lead a program on the rise in the SEC West. As for the other 17 quarterbacks since 2009 in the Top 50 individual player state rankings, their careers didn’t pan out as well.

Some are still active however, so there’s time.

Here’s a look at the top quarterback prospects — along with their 247Sports Composite score — and how they’ve fared out of Tennessee since 2009:

2009

  • Will Gilchrist (.8095), Savannah, signed with Memphis — A four-year letterwinner with the Tigers, Gilchrist moved to wide receiver midway through his career for more playing time.
  • Jamal Ramsey (.8019), Franklin, signed with Middle Tennessee — Transferred to Tennessee State in 2010.
  • Chris Campbell (.7977), Memphis, signed with Southern Miss — Injury-prone throughout his career and saw minimal action.

2010

  • Barry Brunetti (0.8999), Memphis, signed with West Virginia — Four-star dual-threat who transferred to Ole Miss after a season at West Virginia but was a career backup in Oxford.
  • Bo Wallace (.7889), Pulaski, signed with Arkansas State — After redshirting, Wallace wound up at Ole Miss as a JUCO transfer and started three seasons for the Rebels, proving his status as a two-star prospect was misinformed.

  • Patton Robinette (.8716), Maryville, signed with Vanderbilt — Started three games for the Commodores as a redshirt freshman in 2013 and started twice last fall before quitting football in March.
