Ranking the Top 30 QB’s in Class 8A
Jake Lemming
In this article:
We went all in and ranked the top 30 QB’s in 8A. Now, our criteria for this was a bit different. There are multiple quarterbacks on here, that we have listed as athletes and could potentially play another position at the college level. However, we did not rank these players based on their upside as a quarterback. Each player was ranked by their overall ability and value to their team. With that being said, here is the top 30!
