Thrived as the quarterback of the Mountaineers' high-powered spread attack for three seasons, becoming the school's record holder in passing yards (11,662), completions (988) and touchdowns (98)...

Matt Barkley

Finished his career with 12,327 yards, 116 touchdowns, 48 interceptions and a 64.1 completion percentage... Barkley holds Pac-12 records for career yards, touchdowns and completions... Suffered a shoulder injury that ended his senior season prematurely... Most scouts view Barkley as a first-round pick.

A tall, strong-armed pocket passer, Glennon was a productive two-year starter for the Wolfpack, throwing for 7,085 yards, 62 touchdowns and 29 interceptions in those two seasons...
