Ben Wooldridge
LOUISIANA
Preseason Rank: 82
(ranking was for Chandler Fields)
What a start for Louisiana’s offense and for Ben Wooldridge. He’s played mistake-free football and looks more like the quarterback that played incredibly well for Louisiana back in 2022 than every before.
It feels like a college football forever ago that Wooldridge was seen as the future at Fresno State, but now he’s the present at Louisiana. And what a start it’s been.
With five touchdowns and nearly 500 yards to his credit through two weeks, Wooldridge and this new-look Louisiana offense is seemingly firing on all cylinders. He’s been solid throwing to every level of the field, lulling defenses to sleep with the run game and short passing attack before dishing accurate deep shots at will.
Wooldridge isn’t quite the athlete at the quarterback position, but his creation capacity is certainly an underrated aspect of his game.
