However, Bailey, like Mays, has a great chance to get into the rotation. And yes, there is a rotation at quarterback. Jeremy Pruitt started three different players last year at the position, and more than one quarterback played at least a full series in over half the games last year. So being in the rotation means playing.
As a five-star quarterback with all the hype behind him, that means Bailey has a great chance to immediately work his way into that rotation. Brian Maurer and JT Shrout both struggled at times last year, so there’s a major opening for the No. 2 quarterback.
By being an early enrollee, the 6’4″ 220-pound prospect from Marietta High School in Georgia can pick up Jim Chaney’s offense and then be ready to compete for that role when the fall comes. That’s a huge deal. In fact, doing this almost makes Bailey a favorite to win that No. 2 spot, and it also gives him an outside shot at the starting job.

Because of that, Bailey is No. 2 on our list. He has a chance like Mays to be in the rotation, and he comes with more hype and at a position that, well, rotated guys more last year. Watch out for what this guy shows on the field.
