Right now, I think the answer is Kaidon Salter. Going into this past season, PFF named Salter the #1 QB in the Group of 5 and stated the following:

And while Salter’s 2024 season wasn’t as statistically impressive as his 2023 season, he graded out at an 82.0 for the 2024 season, which is considered “great” and is a higher grade than every player on CU’s team last season with the exception of Travis Hunter and Sheduer Sanders. I don’t think people understand how talented Salter is. He’ll be a difference maker for CU.“Salter is the clear choice for the top spot after leading Liberty to an undefeated regular season and a Conference USA championship last season. He also enters 2024 as the highest-graded returning Group of Five quarterback.
The 6-foot-1 junior is a true dual threat with a big arm and dangerous feet. He placed third in the FBS last season with an 8.3% big-time throw rate and 1,117 rushing yards. He also led all quarterbacks with 57 forced missed tackles. While the Flames face uncertainty on the perimeter with the departure of top receiver CJ Daniels, Salter and his backfield partner Quinton Cooley are expected to continue dominating Conference USA.”
