20. Taulia Tagovailoa, Maryland (Previous Rank: HM)
Week 13: 24-of-31, 361 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT; -3 rush yards, 1 TD
Season: 290-of-437, 3,377 yards, 25 TD, 11 INT; 18 rush yards, 5 TD
Tagovailoa surpassed Purdue's Drew Brees (10,909), Minnesota's Adam Weber (10,917) and Purdue's Curtis Painter (11,163) on Saturday to become the all-time leading passer in Big Ten history with 11,256 yards in four seasons at Maryland. The Terrapins went just 2-5 to close out the year after a 5-0 start, but Tagovailoa still had a strong overall season.
19. Seth Henigan, Memphis (Previous Rank: 22)
Week 13: 18-of-28, 250 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT; 5 rush yards
Season: 293-of-441, 3,516 yards, 28 TD, 9 INT; 247 rush yards, 4 TD
After throwing for a season-high 402 yards in Week 12 against SMU, Henigan closed out the year with his second four-touchdown performance of the year. The three-year starter led the AAC with 3,516 passing yards and finished with his third 3,000-yard, 20-touchdown performance.
18. Cameron Ward, Washington State (Previous Rank: 21)
Week 13: 32-of-48, 317 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT; -19 rush yards
Season: 323-of-485, 3,736 yards, 25 TD, 7 INT; 144 rush yards, 8 TD
Ward ranks fourth in the nation with 3,736 passing yards, and he now has back-to-back 3,000-yard, 20-touchdown seasons under his belt at Washington State after starting his college career at Incarnate Word. He had three or more total touchdowns seven times in 12 games.
17. Joey Aguilar, Appalachian State (Previous Rank: 19)
Week 13: 23-of-36, 296 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT; 11 rush yards
Season: 247-of-389, 3,271 yards, 33 TD, 9 INT; 270 rush yards, 2 TD
Aguilar ranks third in the nation with 33 passing touchdowns behind only Jayden Daniels (40) and Bo Nix (37), and his four touchdown passes on Saturday gave him the school record for a single season, surpassing Taylor Lamb (31, 2015). The JUCO transfer helped lead the Mountaineers to an 8-4 regular season and a spot in the Sun Belt title game.
16. Michael Pratt, Tulane (Previous Rank: 16)
Week 13: 9-of-22, 125 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT; 50 rush yards
Season: 164-of-247, 2,168 yards, 21 TD, 4 INT; 321 rush yards, 4 TD
Tulane has gone 10-0 with Pratt under center this season, and he threw a pair of touchdown passes in a 29-16 victory over UTSA on Saturday. A matchup with SMU in the AAC title game is up next, and a win should clinch the Green Wave's place in a New Year's Six bowl game as the nation's highest-ranked Group of Five team.
