From the days of Coach Evans, to the new age sling it around style played under Coach Holman, Tatum has always had a dude at QB. A lot of starts, numbers and wins accumulated by these 5.

Years: 2016-18
College: SAU
My favorite quarterback out of the 5 listed, Jones has everything but the signature win. He was a mobile, accurate quarterback that played with a lot of savvy and big play ability. He could throw every pass, extend plays, and make the big play on the ground with his legs. As a Senior, O.B. threw for 1,785 yards on 57% for 14 touchdowns to just 5 interceptions. He rushed for 798 yards on 123 carries for 13 touchdowns.
4. Kendric Malone

Years: 2019-
Malone got the keys to the car as a sophomore and didn't do particularly hot in his first season. He threw as many touchdowns as he did interceptions and the Eagles struggled mightily in Holman's first season. Year 2, with a new offensive coordinator, Malone took his game and the Eagles, to new heights. Leading his team to the 3rd round, Kendric threw for 1,846 yards (2nd All-Time) and 17 touchdowns to just 7 interceptions. A dual threat, Malone ran for 365 yards on 91 carries for 9 touchdowns. Malone came back his senior year with over 2,299 passing yards, a school record, completing 57% of his passes for 29 touchdowns, a school record. He's Tatum's all time passing leader in yards and touchdowns.
