In January, 2019, season 2 subject Justin Fields announced his intention to transfer from Georgia to Ohio State.[3] Season 1 subject Tate Martell - then at Ohio State - tweeted, "Word of advice: don't swing and miss...especially not your second time."[4] Even prior to this, on December 30, 2018, upon word that Fields was giving thought to transferring to Ohio State, Martell made it clear that he had no plans to depart, stating, "Why would I leave for someone who hasn’t put in a single second into this program? To just run away from somebody who hasn’t put a single second into workouts anything like that and doesn’t know what the program is all about, there’s not a chance. I will [be the starting quarterback]. I am 100 percent sure on that. I am not just going to walk away from something that I have put so much time into and there is not a chance that I won’t go out there and compete for that."[5] Less than two weeks later, on January 10, Martell chose to enter the NCAA transfer portal, eventually moving to Miami (FL).[6]

Martell and Fields aren't the only subjects to play at the same school. In fact, three colleges have had multiple players from QB1:

• Georgia: Jake Fromm (2017-19), Justin Fields (2018)
• Ohio State: Tate Martell (2017-18), Justin Fields (2019-Pres.)
• Wake Forest: Tayvon Bowers (2017-18), Sam Hartman (2018-Pres.)

Appearing in Season 1, Jake Fromm has seen the most success so far and completed many of the first by the 9 quarterbacks followed. He and fellow season 1 subject Tate Martell were the first to make a College Football Playoff games with Martell's Buckeyes making the Cotton Bowl in December 2017 (but Martell not appearing) and Fromm starting at QB for Georgia in the 2018 Rose Bowl three days later.[7] Fromm also started the CFP National Championship Game.[8]

Fromm is the only subject to be drafted into the NFL so far. He was taken with the 167th pick in the 5th Round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.[9]

Justin Fields is the first to merit Heisman consideration, finishing third in 2019.[10]
