With spring football heating up across the country, it’s time to highlight some of the top quarterbacks I had the chance to evaluate live during this year’s 7v7 season. These 15 signal-callers stood out for their arm talent, mechanics, and football IQ, showing clear upside as future leaders of their high school programs and potentially at the next level.
Each of these quarterbacks brings something unique to the table, whether it’s elite size, strong command of the offense, poise under pressure, or the ability to make off-platform throws. As they return to their high school teams this fall, keep an eye on how they develop in areas like leadership, pre-snap recognition, pocket presence, and coachability.
These are all QBs I saw in person this offseason and are listed in no particular order. Every one of them has the tools to break out in 2025 and beyond.
