Michael Van Buren Jr. - Set to claim starting job Van Buren is set to be South Florida's starting quarterback to begin the 2026 season, Kelly Quinlan of On3.com reports.

Impact Van Buren beat out Luke Kromenhoek, Jayden Bradford and KJ Cooper, all transferred quarterbacks. After limited opportunities for Mississippi and Louisiana's state schools, Van Buren looks like he will be the primary quarterback from the get-go for a new-look South Florida. Considering his decent production with Miss State and LSU, the hope for both him and USF is that he can adapt to a slightly lower level of mid-major FBS football and establish himself as a top option for the 2026 Bulls.

JeyQuan Smith - Unavailable for spring game Smith (undisclosed) did not play South Florida's spring game, according to Colby Allfrey of The Bay Area Examiner.

Impact It is unknown why Smith sat out South Florida's spring game. The wide receiver has been regularly healthy throughout his USF tenure, which includes annual growth in the wide receiver's statistics. Just last year, Smith logged career-highs in receptions (11) and receiving yards (151), good enough that he enters this season as one of South Florida's most promising wideouts.

Reuben is a key turner from USF's 2025 team, for which the wide receiver logged almost 500 receiving yards to go with at least 50 targets and five touchdowns.
