Check on those highlighted. No on OSU (only Schlichter/Haskins). Miami Fla. is not one of the Ten......but a special case: only 2 QBs in round one of regular draft (Kelly/Testaverde)....but they did have two QBs taken in Round one of Supplemental drafts: Bernie and Steve Walsh. So, no as far as regular draft is concerned.

Oregon Fouts, Harrington, & Mariota.
Alabama Namath, Todd, & Stabler
Check on Oregon....they have actually had 4....but FYI, Fouts was not one of them....while he has been the best Oregon QB, he was only a 3rd round pick. No on Alabama (only Todd.....Namath was pre-Common draft era....Stabler was a Round 2 pick....and FYI...Bart Starr, Alabama HOF...5 championships? #200....17th round in his day)
4 more schools.

The University of California had a bunch.
Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff, Steve Bartkowski, Craig Morton and who could forget our favorite Santa Claus - Kyle Boller? I think they had 1 more - Rich Campbell but you might want to double-check my memory of the last name.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
Off the top of my head Florida had Rex Grossman and Tim Tebow in round 1. Back in BC (Before Cellphones) Steve Spurrier was drafted in round 1 as well - so let's add Florida to your list

No. Lucas not 1st round.
Gips, Penn State's Richie Lucas was a 4th pick overall in 1960 by the Washington Redskins but your directions said after 1966 so I'm wrong.

Right I was just going by since the common draft. In the days of both an AFL and NFL draft a guy like that could have gone #4 in one draft, and not until the 4th round in another. See Morton: #5 overall in 1965....in NFL draft, but not until round 10 in AFL draft.
