"There are more five-star quarterbacks in the 2015 recruiting class than there had been in five years, per 247sports’ industry composite rankings. With three quarterbacks earning the five-star designation, there are as many in 2015 as there were in 2013 and 2014 combined.

From 2005-2014, there were 23 quarterbacks that earned five-star status, with nine landing in the SEC. As you would imagine, the results are quite mixed. Just two have won the Heisman and four have been first round draft picks, but several others put up huge numbers in college and led their teams to varying levels of success."
