Pro Football Focus has released its rankings for all the starting quarterbacks in college football for the 2019 season.

PFF had Clemson's Trevor Lawrence ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in college football for the 2019 season. Rutgers' Artur Sitkowski -- a former IMG Academy quarterback -- is ranked as the 130th best starting quarterback.

But as far as the state of Florida goes, Florida State's starting quarterback is No. 1.

PFF has FSU redshirt sophomore quarterback James Blackman ranked as the 35th best starting quarterback in college football this season. The next closest quarterback in the state is Florida International's redshirt senior quarterback James Morgan.

Here's what PFF had to say about Blackman:

"A bit surprising, considering he redshirted and dropped back to pass just 61 times a year ago, Blackman was every bit of a top-notch quarterback when he did see the field in Willie Taggert’s offense in 2018, especially in his 421-yard, 4-touchdown performance against NC State.

"Blackman is no stranger to big-time performances as he had three game grades of 81.0 or higher in 2017 and if he can remove some of the negative plays, those highly-graded performances will start to come in at a flurry."

Blackman started 12 of the 13 games FSU played in 2017 as a true freshman after former quarterback Deondre Francois went down with a knee injury in the season-opener against Alabama.

He threw for 2,230 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2017.

Blackman redshirted after losing the starting quarterback job to Francois in 2018. He played in four games and completed 64.7% of his passes for 510 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception.

Blackman is still competing with Wisconsin graduate transfer quarterback Alex Hornibrook and Louisville transfer Jordan Travis for the starting job during fall practice, but he is expected to win the job.

Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks, a former Wakulla High standout, comes in at No. 43. He threw for 2,457 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions as a redshirt sophomore in 2018.

"Extremely inconsistent with his performances, Franks’ good play was certainly outweighed by his bad play a year ago. Still, with an improved situation going forward, he’s in the best position of his career to succeed. More games like that against Florida State and fewer games like that against Kentucky a year ago and the Gators will be sitting pretty. They do have the advantage in the season opener against Miami."

Here's how PFF ranks the quarterbacks in the state of Florida.

No. 35: James Blackman, FSU No. 38: James Morgan, FIU No. 43: Feleipe Franks, UF No. 44: Blake Barnett, USF No. 64: Brandon Wimbush, UCF No. 77: Jarren Williams, Miami No. 81: Chris Robinson, FAU
